Today I show off my recent yarny purchases, a FO and wax rhapsodic about my ongoing love affair with Autumn.

Things are looking up at the Tranquil Cottage. I have two projects on the needles I am excited about and am resisting the urge to CAST ON ALL THE THINGS!
I may have ordered some Autumnal colors from Knitter's Magic. I will hopefully show that off next week and have some great ideas on Autumn Patterns. I feel the crispness in the air and I'm loving it.
I have missed podcasting so much. I have missed knitting, spinning and most of all, I have missed my fiber friends. I am jumping back in with both feet and look forward to seeing what the future holds for Tranquil Cottage Knits.
Well, I had to record and re-record this episode. Callie, my uncharacteristically ill mannered black lab made an epic appearance and well, I lost it. First time I have ever included podcast out takes!
The last 2 weeks have been thin on the knit and spin side. I have plenty to knit. Plenty to spin. Plenty on the needles. And the drive to do none of it. Perhaps it was the 48 degree house causing this problem. I did manage to knit a Noni Warmer, although that was more for necessity than for fun.
Today I got to record in my Work-In-Progress of a craft studio. George and Oliver made an appearance... well, George made several. There are also 2 FO's for the TCK Christmas Gift-along and I show off one of my most treasured possessions.
Welcome to the Tranquil Cottage Knits podcast. In Episode 20, we talk about the myriad of WIP’s I have found as well as some family history. Come, sit and knit a bit at The Tranquil Cottage.

In Episode 19, I explore the idea of organizing a Christmas Gift KAL where we set up a gift knitting queue and attempt to knit one small gift per week to get a start on Christmas Knitting-because that takes time, yo! Also, I intro some of the lovely podcasters/dyers/crafters/awesome human beings I met at Rhinebeck and show you how to find their awesomeness as well. After much editing I feel this episode is slightly scatterbrained!
