Blog of the Week

This stay at home mom is ever busy but never quits her knits.
 


Book Nook
"Knitting a swatch is...like a first date between a knitter and yarn. You get to know each other, you converse, you see how the yarn behaves when you handle it, you discover if it's soft or harsh...You begin to get a sense of the potential your relationship holds: is it a keeper? Or are you going to have to dump it faster than a 42-year-old man with an action-figure collection and his mommy on speed dial."
