What’s Hot
This month’s Yarnista Files question asked what we’re knitting to get our summer knitting mojo back. While we’re all keeping an eye on the September calendar and the arrival of cooler weather, now’s a great time to deal with the unfinished projects that you’ve been shuffling from project pile to project pile. (Please tell me I’m not the only person with a bag of projects that are off the needles but not finished). Join us in the lounge on Sunday afternoons in August to ‘finish your knits.’ You’ll feel so much better clearing off your needles and putting projects to bed, just in time to get cracking on new cool weather knitting.
See you in space!
