My First Video Podcast!

I have put off the idea of creating a video podcast because I truly felt no one would want to sit and watch me talk. However, I have had several requests recently to get out there and post one. The holidays were just too busy to think seriously about what I was going to talk about. With the start of the new year, I decided I would try this new approach to blogging. I have been working on organizing and setting up a space in my creative room to film my podcast. I finally got it together and jumped in. I welcome you to my newest form of blogging: video podcasting.

Welcome to my new podcast - Everything Jenni.

I mention in the podcast that I would provide show notes in my blog. So here there are.

Works In Progress (WIPs)

Christmas Eve Socks (Little Bobbins Knits)

• Yarn: Madelinetosh Sock
• Colorway: Clematis
• Needles: Karbonz Circular – Size 1
• Pattern: Vanilla Latte Socks by Virginia Rose-Jeanes
• Notes: I used the “eye of partridge” heel flap and the rounded wedge toe.

Coziest Memories Blanket (Junkyarn)

• Yarn: various fingering weight/sock weight
• Colorway: various
• Needles: Hiya Hiya Sharps 16” Circular – Size 2
• Pattern: Junkyarn

Hiker Socks

• Yarn: Neighborhood Fiber Company
• Colorway: Druid Hill
• Needles: Karbonz Circular – Size 3
• Pattern: Ragg Hiker (Two At-A-Time Socks Book)
• Notes: I’m making the men’s size medium, so I cast on 60 stitches.

Sewing Projects

• Medium size project bags will be available in my Etsy Shop soon

Finished Objects (FOs)

Shawl

• Yarn: Madelinetosh Chunky
• Colorway: Tart
• Needles: Knit Picks Harmony Interchangeable Circulars – Size 10
• Pattern: Boneyard Shawl by Stephen West
• Notes: I changed yarn and needles to larger sizing. The Elizabeth Zimmerman sewn bind-off is fabulous, but requires a lengthy tail to sew. It can be time consuming.

Slippers

• Yarn: Malabrigo Rios
• Colorway: Arco Iris
• Needles: Knitter’s Pride – Size 4.0 mm DPNs (pattern calls for 4.5 mm)
• Pattern: South Marysburgh Slippers
• Notes: I changed my cuff to be a K1, P1 rib stitch for four rounds instead of the seed stitch cuff. I am also adding the Fiber Trends Suede 2-Piece Slipper Bottoms in size medium and charcoal coloring. I had enough yarn to make two pair, but on my second pair I am using a different colourway to add a much taller cuff for a winter slipper.

Recipe

• Slow Cooker Loaded Potato Soup from Tasty on Facebook
• Notes: Make sure that your stovetop portion of the recipe is thickened before adding to your slow cooker to cook for an additional 30 minutes. If it is not thickening add a little more flour.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you join me for my next podcast.

Hugs,

Jenni

Taking on a New Challenge

Welcome to Everything Jenni for 2013!

I decided to start out the year by taking on a serious challenge. I've joined the "Ultimate Blog Challenge." Basically, it means that I will be posting a blog a day for the month of January. I will post links to my blog on my Facebook and Twitter accounts. If you get tired of reading my blog posts, then feel free to ignore me, but my hope is that I will be able to share a little bit about myself that keeps you interested and anxious for more.

So grab that toasty beverage, sit back, relax, and enjoy the reading adventure!

Hugs,
Jenni

Revealing Myself

Welcome to pieces of my life. I recently spent an afternoon reading other people's blogs. I loved the idea of seeing a little bit of who my friends are and what they are interested in these days. Although I will post simple news on my Facebook, I realized I didn't have a place to share who I am or what I am interested in today with my friends. Welcome my new blog, "Everything Jenni." I hope that in the days to come you will share a piece of my life with me, and I'd love to hear about your life as well.

Hugs,
Jenni
