I was delighted to find out that my design, Gowanus, was mentioned in the latest podcast of Stash and Burn (episode 99). I want to make sure everyone checks it out because it's a really fun knitting podcast.

They talk about the Gowanus scarf being a one skein project, which is something that I also love about the design. I've got a corner of my stash that's just odd balls of whatever is left over and I'm always trying to think of what to do with them. I should warn, that I used all but about 5g of the 50g skien for the sample. It was seriously cutting it close. If you select a heavier fingering weight yarn, you may come up a tad short.

My Miss Myrtle fingerless gloves, another one-skein project, were originally supposed to coordinate with the Gowanus scarf. I still think they do, but they kind of became their own animal. You can see some similarities with the picot edging and eyelet motif. Also they use the same kind of yarn. Miss Myrtle became much more frilly though in the end.
