On The Needles:(0:32)
Gigi talks about #oneadayinmay, and how she has changed her objective to knitting one preemie hat a day. She mentions having cast on all of the socks out of Hunter Hammersen's The Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet
at one point of time.Jasmin has finished the Striped Austen Cowl by Margaret Skår. This is a kit from Canon Hand Dyes.
Gigi is working on the Gansey socks and enjoying it.
Jasmin has started the Rainbow Dots Cowl kit, (Pattern by Janina Böttger, yarn in a kit from Canon Hand Dyes.)

Trying to pick buttons with Genevieve was challenging. Jasmin has grosgrain ribbon with Thing One and Thing Two, and she went on Etsy and found Cat in the Hat plastic hats that she will turn into buttons.
Also, she has cast on the Fractal Danger by Martina Behm, out of the "Danger" colorway by Abstract Fiber, and it is lovely. (This was from the Bar Maids Knitmore Girls "House Special" box.)
We gush about how talented Martina Behm is. Jasmin mentions A Playful Day, and the episode featuring Ysolda Teague.
