If you like making socks, or would like to, we have something

Sock Yarn Tasting of Skacel Yarns
Saturday October 25th, 2008.
It will run from 2 PM- 4ish.
A representative from Skacel will be there, so will sock yarn
and samples.
And if you'd like to hang out and share your own sock wisdom,
or need a bit of help with making socks this is your big chance.
No longer a yarn store, and I often don't talk about yarn. But I do bake, travel, and attack wool with a needle.

Ongoing projects are still going
Still working on the Twist and Shout from knitty.
I wanted to have it finished by now, but I keep making mistakes, like not cabling or only cabling half a row.
I've also finally started Jessamy's birthday present (her birthday was in September), it's a pencil case. I still have to do the zipper, which I'm not looking forward too. I've never sewn a zipper before and I attempted to do it last night, but it was late and I was sleepy and easily frustrated.
