Hello, welcome to Knitting Pipeline.

This is episode 184, Balsam Hollow, and Mitten Month.

It is the 17th of September 2014. Thank you for joining me today.

You can find me on Ravelry as Prairie Piper and lots of other places too. I will have those links in the show notes. This is not a typical episode so if you're listening in for the first time please come back but I have a couple of things that I want to share before I leave for the

knitting pipeline retreat in Kenny Bunk, Maine, and that will be tomorrow that I'm leaving

as I'm going out a few days early.

skin and the big wool, and then I'm going to talk about a new

asked me if I would design a shawl for one

and one of her Reed Together, Knit with Love kits. And the theme for this one is Anne of Green Gables.

I was so thrilled to accept the offer

and I immediately had so many ideas because I'm a big

fan of the Ann of Green Gables books by Lucy Mod Montgomery. I've read all of them

on into when Anne and Gilbert were married and all that and have watched the PBS.

I don't, it was on PBS I think it was a Canadian production many times, so it was a delight and I've just had a great time doing it.

The kit, the Ann of Green Gables kit, be released on September 22nd at the Little
