I am taking a week off so the next podcast will be released after Stitches Midwest.
Don't worry if you are a few stitches off. I don't think it will matter.
Intarsia has not killed me yet. In fact, I'm enjoying it! (But know better than to overdo it.)

Pipeliner Notes
I heard from new pipeliners: Nancy in Alabama, AuntTea/Ellen, Abbysknits, Julia, MaggieGrl, Cheryl, and Helen.
New iTunes reviews from GuruNam and Listening in the Adirondacks made me happy! Thank you.
Nature Notes
The Barred Owls are very busy these days, or really these nights.
Louise of the Caithness Craft Collective Podcast noticed that I talked a lot more about butterflies last year than I have this year. She is absolutely correct. It hasn’t been the best summer for butterflies.
Needle Notes
Leafprints Shawlette by Anne Hanson.
Review of Creamy by Kollage. Creamy is a blend of milk and cotton. 80/20 . A little slippery but it is a lovely material.

Events
Stitches Midwest is August 25-28. I will be there on the 25th and 26th. There will be a Pipeliner Meet and Greet on Friday August 26 starting at 11 AM in the Concession area of the Market. I will be sitting there with my knitting and I hope you can join me.
Betty Hay asked questions about attending big knitting events such as Sock Summit and Stitches. Betty, I apologize for not answering sooner.
The Market:
- Set a budget and perhaps some goals. I try to think ahead of time what I am looking for.
- Take cash for the Market.
- If you are wavering on a purchase then think about it for a while. Come back later. Sometimes you have more perspective.
I take easy project to work on so I can chat with people easily.
Take some business cards with your Ravelry information, your blog if you have one, to exchange with people you meet.
Keeping up energy among a lot of people: Are you and introvert or an extrovert? A definition is that an introvert gathers energy from being along and an extrovert gathers energy from being with others.

I knitted two Chinese Waves Dishcloths. I know, I thought I was done but I needed the palate cleanser of knitting. Thanks, Angela!
