Jasmin's Tempest is plugging right along. Gigi has unearthed and is working on the ties for the V-neck wrap cardigan (by Knitting Pure and Simple). Jasmin is working on the collar for her Carli cardigan. Gigi has unearthed her Katarina and is using Jean Frost's slip stitch technique for piecing it together. Jasmin is working on a Knitmore Vanilla sock out of Abstract Fiber Matisse in "Deep Lake". Gigi is working on a vanilla sock out of Tess Yarns sock yarn.
Jasmin mentions the Knitmore Girls Podcast App, the grosgrain ribbon tutorial, the couture button tutorial . While we podcast, Gigi binds off the second Gull Wing Sock (make from the Serendipitious Ewe's Chance Sock) using the sewn bind-off.

| 0:50.3 | I'm fantastic. It's our 100th episode. That it is. So we should probably get started on |
| 0:56.7 | some knitting chat. So what have you been knitting? Oh, nice transition. I've been doing a little bit |
| 1:05.1 | of knitting, but you know, it's it's going well. My tempest is plugging away nicely. Tempest is a |
| 1:12.3 | striped sweater from nitty.com and I'm knitting out of my handspan, Kormo, and I finished the body |
| 1:18.2 | the other day and cast on the first sleeve. I have to it's always a little bit fiddly when I cast |

| 1:59.4 | I think we called it anti-phrase green. I think we did. And anti-phrase green stripes. So it's |

| 2:15.9 | they're not seven eighths, they're just barely under the elbow. So they're like two-thirds |
