DC Metro Yarn Crawl – the aftermath (Part III)
Read Part I here and then Read Part II here. So, when last I left you, I was debating whether I was going to take the safe route and continue around the 495 loop to 2 more stops, or if I was going to push the envelope, head north into completely unexplored country (unexplored by [...]

DC Metro Yarn Crawl – the aftermath (Part II)

And I [...]
Because I don’t have enough hobbies
The DC Metro Yarn Crawl started this Saturday. I’ve been looking forward to it, both because I’ve never done a yarn crawl before (other than unofficial ones), and because of the 10 stores that are participating, I’ve only been to 3 of them before: fibre space in Alexandria, VA; Looped Yarn Works in DC; and [...]
A glimpse at a shawl
I’ve been knitting away at the Faraway, So Close shawl that I’m making for my friend. I’m not sure I can adequately put words to how much I’m loving this. The look I’ve got right now is different than what I’d planned. Initially, I was going to knit the shawl entirely in the Glimpse colorway. [...]
