Knitting A Harry Potter Scarf While Editing An Amy Butler Podcast, The Wait For Both is Almost Over
I started knitting this Harry Potter scarf a couple years ago and put it aside about three stripes in. I’m not sure why I didn’t finish this thing because I’ve found it very relaxing to pick it up again. I’m knitting in the round on size 7 circulars, so I can mindlessly stitch until it’s time to switch colors. I just love projects that don’t require me to concentrate, so my mind is free focus on other things like editing the audio from my interview with designer, Amy Butler. Yes, this means I’m very close to finally posting this long-awaited interview. And I’m very excited about this because many, many listeners have asked for a CraftSanity episode featuring Amy.
After our recent chat, Amy followed up by sending me a HUGE box of Amy B. goodies. So prepare yourself, people, because this next giveaway is going to be loads of fun. There will be chances to win fabric, patterns AND Books! I know, it’s totally out of control, so I suggest you check back often during the next couple days to find out how to enter to win some fabulous stuff. Don’t ask me how I’ve managed to resist the urge to lock myself in my room and sew every pattern in the box.
Apparently, I have more self-control than I thought, but I’m not sure how much longer I can hold out. Must get prizes to winners ASAP! Okay, time to go tape the podcast intro… the goal is to post the podcast this week.

I have sewn a few of Amy’s patterns and they are really fun! I am not sure I could resist. I always learn some new technique from each patterrn.

I too started and stopped a Harry Potter scarf. Mine’s jammed in the craft room closet somewhere. Not sure if I’ll finish it, or just rip it out.
I’m really looking forward to the interview with Amy.

The scarf is looking good. And I think you should just give away the stuff to me. :>

Thank you so much for all of your hard work on these podcasts!! They bring me so much joy! I’ve been listening to your podcasts while I work on my own creative pursuits lately. It’s a wonderful combination. I’m looking forward to the Amy Butler interview (and the giveaways too of course!!) Thanks again!

Oh, this should be a fun give-away…and I don’t even sew! Mom tried to teach me…but it never took.
I need to figure out how to get your podcasts onto my MP3 player…

I just have to tell you how addicted I am getting to your podcasts….I love them! I’ve been listening to them while I knit. What a great combination. I can even do this at work on slow days, if I get all my regular stuff done. Thank goodness you have been doing this awhile and I have a bunch more to go….I think I’ll go a little crazy once I hear them all and have to wait for each new one to come out.
