Episode 12: Has anyone seen my mojo?




Yarns from the Plain show

Summary: Hello from a little piece of green space overlooking the Weaver Navigation Canal. In this episode I muse on my missing mojo, announce a winner and ponder on tails as an essential accessory. <br> <br> UFO contest: Thanks to all those who entered, but nobody guessed the correct UFO, which was in fact my Birthday Pinwheel Sweater: <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Details are <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/talesfromtheplain/pinwheel-sweater-adult">here</a>. Although no-one correctly identified it, I thought I would still have a draw, so the random number generator picked out a winner. Was it you? <br> <br> You can choose from either of the Abstract Cat yarns I mentioned in an earlier episode, a lovely pint silk laceweight from Knitwitches or some lovely Lei from Posh Yarn <br> <br> <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/people/talesfromtheplain/stash/british-bluefaced-leicester-sock-yarn">Abstract Cat Retro</a>: <br> <br> <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/people/talesfromtheplain/stash/superwash-merino-sock-weight">Abstract Cat Jolly</a>: <br> <br> <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/people/talesfromtheplain/stash/100-pure-silk-laceweight">Knitwitches 100% Pure Silk Laceweight</a>: <br> <br> <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/people/talesfromtheplain/stash/lei-3">Posh Yarn Lei in Charming</a>: <br> <br> or <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/people/talesfromtheplain/stash/lei-2">Posh Yarn Lei in an unspecified colourway</a> I bought at Wonderwool Wales in 2008: <br> <br> Thanks to all who entered! <br> <br> What's on my needles: a <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/talesfromtheplain/featherweight-cardigan">Featherweight cardigan</a> in Posh Yarn, a <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/talesfromtheplain/clapotis-2">Clapotis</a> in Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend and a <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/talesfromtheplain/stripey-noro-messenger-bag">Stripy Noro Messenger Bag</a>.
