Shop News:

I made a huge shop update last week of ready to ship yarns.

All listings are tagged in the title and the description as to if they are in-stock or dyed-to-order. Additionally, all in-stock items are pictured on a wood background and all dyed-to-order items are pictured on a white background for at a glance identification.

On My Nightstand:

The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto by Mitch Albom - The audio version was good!  

Knitlandia by Clara Parkes - A rough start, but an entertaining read. Clara touches on several important knitting events in the last 10 years. It’s a must read/listen for knitters. 

Books on the Nightstand podcast is saying goodbye.
