Kris figured out that she does not have enough yarn to knit a second repeat of Chart A on Terra.
Kaity is 5 repeats into the Boneyard by Stephen West, in some Unplanned Peacock yarn, in Peppermint, that she picked up from last year's Carolina Fiber Fest on a US 3.

Kris has started to write the pattern for Grandma's Butterflies.
Kaity's Belle pattern is out to test knitters.
Brainstorming:
Kaity showed her two new David Bowie shirts, one of which is the cover off of his album Aladdin Sane and the other is an older publicity photo. She also mentioned that she needs to finish a pair of fingerless gloves for one of her friends.

Also available on iTunes and blip.tv.

Kris hasn't cast on her April stripey socks yet, but she wound the Biscotte and Cie a moi le coco for some vanilla socks.
FOs:
Kris finished her Irish Cream Vanilla Latte socks! Yay! They are knit out of Lollipop Yarn Moon River.

Kris has started the first lace section of Terra for the March/April KnerdGirl Knits KAL. She's knitting it out of Mountain Colors Bearfoot in the Mountain Twilight colorway on US 6. She conquered the knitting math (converting from worsted to fingering weight). Huzzah! FYI: 268 is not divisible by 11, but 268 - 6 (garter edge) - 20 (stitches outside the 11 stitch repeat) = 22 11 stitch repeats. Knitting math!
Crafting:
Kaity's Belle pattern is out to test knitters.
Brainstorming:
Kaity got some HD Yarns Highlighter sock yarn - super bright rainbow stripey socks will be coming soon!
Kris got her Cookie A April sock club, Dream in Color Everlasting sock, in the Violet Hour color way. The patterns that came with the club were lovely, but the yarn is 100% merino, so it will be something besides socks.

Kaity is 5 repeats into the Boneyard by Stephen West, in some Unplanned Peacock yarn, in Peppermint, that she picked up from last year's Carolina Fiber Fest on a US 3.

Brainstorming:
Kris caught a Wollmeise update at the Loopy Ewe. She got enough DK in Lobster for a sweater, and a skein of Lacegarn in Belladonna to make another sweater.
The latest kit from Woolgirl's Downtown Abbey Club came this week. Themed after O'Brien, the lady's maid, it has a pattern for a collared cape, 720 yards of organic merino sport weight yarn, a cigar box, some handmade lavender soap, and WeeOnes Stitch Marker.

Kaity is all about Rise of the Guardians, she saw the movie last weekend and then bought all three books for her Kindle. The Guardians: Nicholas St. North and the Battle of the Nightmare King; E. Aster Bunnymund and the Warrior Eggs at the Earth's Core!; Toothiana, Queen of the Tooth Fairy Armies.
Amy Herzog has a new book and a new Craftsy class - Knit to Flatter. If you are a garment knitter, you should definitely check them out!
Thanks to DiCat for the gifted pattern. The Mandy's Heart socks are lovely, and I can't wait to knit them!
