Thank you for your iTunes reviews and star ratings! A wonderful review showed up this week from desertflower105. Thank you so much for your encouragement.
Pipeliner Notes Thanks for the wonderful tips! These are found on the show blog.
Nature Notes
Many of you wrote about your sightings of black squirrels which appear to have populations scattered across the country. They are a variant of the gray squirrel so they behave the same way. A marauding band of four teen male turkeys attacked our windows.
10th Annual Potholes and Prairie Birding Festival: The Chieftain Hotel and Conference Center June 13-17 Carrington ND Fly into Fargo or Bismarck or and easy hop from Mpls (2 hours). Bill Thompson, Julie Zickafoose and other expert guides. Visit www.birdingdrives.com
Martha/Goldybear wrote on the board that experts think it will be a good year for butterflies. We are not experts but judging from what we have seen so far this year we have made the same observation. During our Sunday hike in Forest Park Nature Preserve we saw Red Admirals (lots!), Eastern Comma, Mourning Cloaks, Spring Azures, and random Skippers.
Needle Notes Leaaline asked, Paula, what is your FAVORITE quince and co. Yarn? Answer: I love them all but have a special fondness for Chickadee and Tern because I more often knit with lighter weight yarns.
Hyla Brook will be released in June. Calls for 2 skeins of Quince & Co Tern which is a fingering weight wool/silk blend. 442 yds fingering weight. This shawl is completely reversible and has no purl stitches!
Lil Bit by Laura Linneman.
Koigu Beaded Beret by Churchmouse Yarns and Teas I am not thrilled with the end result but I had a ball knitting it!
The Blethering Room A new rule for buying yarn: sweaters worth or one more skein than first impulse.
If I don’t like the yarn enough to commit to more than one or two skeins then maybe I don’t like it enough to buy it. (please feel free to quote me on this, especially if you see me buying yarn somewhere!)
