I know it has been forever since I posted a new podcast, or comment... or video. I had so many plans and ideas, but have gotten very side tracked. With good reason, though. But first, I did have a question. What kind of yarn did I use in my "Elongated Stitch video? Just plain old Lily Sugar n Cream cotton yarn. Ok... so why haven't I been around lately? Well, you might have guessed if you have scrolled down to the bottom of the blog recently. Around the end of November / beginning of December, I started getting extremely tired. So tired that I was falling asleep around 8 PM and still could barely drag myself out of bed in the morning to get to work on time. On the weekends, I was sleeping in and as soon as I got up, I would sit on the couch and almost immediately fall asleep again. That is so not me.

Long Time No Knit
I apologize for being away for so long. I was in need of a little break. I have had a little something going on, which I am very excited about and will be sharing with you shortly. The next episode of the podcast will be up soon. I have the first part of the next Mystery Knitting Project ready for you as well. I have lots to get ready for the next podcast, and so will be working on that over the next several days. I can't wait to get back into the swing of things!

Episode 7
Welcome to Episode 7 of the Sapphires-N-Purls podcast! In addition to what I have been up to lately, below are links to everything I talk about in this episode.
I finally finished the dog sweater for my sister's friend! I will be putting it in the mail this weekend. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. I didn't use a pattern, I just kind of winged it, and sure hope it fits!

Shadow Knitting: 1st Mystery Knitting Project is done!
Ok, here is the picture of the completed item. This was my first real attempt at shadow knitting. Much easier than I expected, but it does take some thought when charting out the pattern. I've been using mine as a large coaster, but it really is meant to go on my counter whenever I have something from the oven that needs to cool down. This will come in handy for Thanksgiving dinner this year because I always seem to run out of potholders/dishtowels to set my hot dishes on. If you made this as well, I hope you had fun knitting and like the end result. I will have a new mystery project around the middle of December, so be sure to check back!
Pattern for the Heart Shadow Hot Pad is below the picture.
