Knitting Traditions Preview of the contents for this new one time issue from Interweave looks really interesting. I’m looking to keep my eye out for more previews.

It’s been a very happy Knitsmas for me this year. I got the books I wanted all year all in one shot. Yippee! To be expected, they are not helping me want to finish projects I have on the go. I really want to start on some of these fun projects. However, they are not [...]
