Cedar Leaf Shawlette
The Cedar Leaf Shawlette: finished a few days late for my daughter-in-law's birthday but hopefully in time for her to take on their trip to Spain in a few days. I blocked it and sent it off after taking some quick photos. I wish I could take photos of her modeling it.

The pattern calls for DK weight but I used fingering weight/sock yarn from The Woolen Rabbit. The color is called Chimney Sweep. I love this color. It is a deep gray semi-solid with blue overtones. Fortunately, I have one whole skein plus a bit of the second leftover for a future project.

Episode 14 The Stealth Approach to Socks
Show notes for the Knitting Pipeline Podcast can be found on the show blog http://www.knittingpipeline.blogspot.com/.
Since tweaking my blog design the Followers are not showing up. I cannot figure this out. If you are a blogger on Blogspot and have any hints, please let me know.
I am going to set a schedule for myself to update this blog more regularly, even if it is just a short post. I thought by now I would be a lot more efficient in producing the weekly podcast but it still takes me many hours to get the notes done, record, edit, upload, and write blog posts. I should probably just have one blog but I am still attached to this one and will use it for knitting and some more personal writings.
I am still going to mention here when a new episode is up. I added a flash player in the side bar. If you click in the lower left corner there is a menu. All the episodes are available here so you can listen without an external listening device.
In this podcast I talk about the finished project, Hurdy Gurdy Cardigan by Lynda Gemmell. Notes on my Ravelry page. I bought the kit at Stitches. The colors spoke to me and I had to knit it even though I don't really have an intended wearer. Actually, I am planning on sending the little sweater to Botswana where I am sure it will be worn a lot and passed along. This makes me very happy.

Modifications:
- Ribbed button band instead of garter stitch band
- Shorter sleeves than pattern recommended
- My little extra touch are the buttons, both lavender and lime green, alternating.
