Okay seriously who out there did not cross their fingers so the new Yarn Harlot book would be here soon. However, the Yarn Harlot, herself, announced a that she received her copy of the book and release dates have been moved to Tuesday the 23rd so it should be out really soon!

Did you know?
That you can major in Fiber???
Long story but if you listened to the podcast you will know it.
So want to have a major in Fiber check out the Savannah College of Art & Design

So what the most you ever spent on yarn??

Episode 8

This week I have stumbled upon something very interesting and that is CoulurMart. They sell high quality yarns for less mainly specializing in Cashmere and Silk!!!

Other News word on the street is now that the new Yarn Harlot book, “Free Range Knitter” isn’t due to be out till September 25. So everyone keep your fingers crossed and pray that it shows up!!!

Worlds fastest knitter on the Knit Picks podcast is different lady than I was previously talking about and so apparently the other lady is no longer the worlds fastest knitter.


Cast On:
Abby-
Patty-Nothing yet but I plan on starting my cabled tunic this weekend!! So stayed tuned for my adventures into cables!!!!

Cast Off:
Abby: One vanilla sock
Patty: February Lady Sweater Take Two!!!! (finally!!! and as a side-note it is possible to be mentally sane after making a finger-weight sweater!) I managed to finish Clapotis just before we podcasted!!!

Okay so this week i was clicking around on the internet and saw that knitting came up on a site called drugs.com so naturally I had to see what this is about and I found this definition: A non-medical term denoting the process of union of the fragments of a broken bone or of the edges of a wound.
Hub Mills Factory outlet in Lowell

Okay I am excited about glow in the dark yarn this week because Bernat came out with six different shades of glow and the dark yarn. I was listening to the Knitter’s Wading Pool and found out about this yarn!!
Another thing I am excited about is that in our area the craft stores have started carrying a lot more yarn, especially several varieties of sock yarns!! I will be giving reviews of these yarns as I knit with them (I have to start knitting on the cheap due to the ever increasing cost of school!)

I would also like to give a shout out back to two different podcasts.
Changelings Knit & Spin is back after a hiatus
SockTart for the shout out about our shout out to them!!
