My warmest thanks to Susan of KnitAJourney Podcast for the delightful chat and interview, which you can find here. It was a blast for me, Susan--thanks for making me sound so coherent!
What's On My Hook/Needles/Spindle: The list:
The Daybreak Shawl--At last! I'm working it again! An easy enough pattern to let a beginner get some great shawl satisfaction.
Ishbel Shawl --Okay, I lied. I haven't returned to it yet.
The Argante Shawl--Not this week.
Dizzy Blondes:
Navajo plying everything within reach. Have a peep at the photo above to see what I mean. MAN! Navajo plying has changed my spinning life!

Strategy: A bit more on the Acceptance phase of DABDA, and what you do when someone died and you did not give them the send-off you wish you could have.
Something I Really Like: The Yowza Podcast. Give Lex a listen! But hang in there until she gets the sound more under control by Episode 3 or 4. Yarn on Wheels indeed!
Blather: Noser runs a bit wild, while I discover that one of the senior officers on my yard is human, despite years of experience that might have made a lesser man completely cynical.

I just learned how to navajo ply on the spindle over the weekend - I can't believe how cool this is myself. And get back to those Argante and Ishbel shawls - they're lonely...
Yeah, I am totally addicted to the N-ply. As for shawls, well, I am finishing the Daybreak first, then we shall see about the others...
Thank you for revisiting DABDA. I listened with mild interest when you were originally covering but two weeks ago my mother was diagnosed with cancer and is probably not going to live more than a couple of years. I am going to go back and listen again to refresh my memory. I love how you addressed the people who said that true Christians don't go through this. I wanted to yell at the computer, "They are emotions people! Everybody has emotions!" But I might be a TAD sensitive right now. Keep up the good work, Dr Gemma.
