On the needles:
Lots of socks.
- Swatching for the Not-Your-Standard-Issue Sweatshirt from the Yarn Girls\' Guide To Simple Knits. To dart or not to dart? In Div\\xe9 Autunno.
- More spinning than knitting. "Blackberry Swirl" from Fiber Fiend in Superwash Corriedale.
- We placed a co-op order from Crown Mountain Farms. We love Klaus! (We also love his superwash merino roving!) He\'s also dyeing yarns now.
When Knitting Attacks:
- Gigi realizes that there is not enough yardage in the Artyarns Supermerino worsted to knit them on itty bitty needles.
- Jasmin is still Sock Blocked.
Mother knows best:
- Swatch for your socks. Really.
- Graft\\n"Hand wash only" socks with red yarn. This is a visual cue to not just\\nthrow them in the wash. Also, differentiated labels (red font vs black\\nfont) are also quite effective.
