Advent is soon upon us, and with it the vast array of Advent calendars.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving (to those in the USA), and for those elsewhere – happy Thursday!
Well. As advertised, I have been hammering away at the Geek-Along squares I let build up. This past Sunday, #47 out of 48 was released, and it too is done. So there’s one square left!

Toward that end, I have a trio of mitten books to tell you about – two of them new and one a bit older. First up, Knit Mitts (October 2017)… Continue reading Knitter’s Bookshelf: Mitten Book Roundup
Since last week, I have made scant progress on my eternal Colorblock sweater, but am making good progress on my annual Halloween socks! Specifically, this year’s socks are Fangtastic by Wendy Gaal, and the yarn is a kit from Knitter’s Brewing Company. My Mom gave it to me as a Christmas present last year, and I… Continue reading Batty For Halloween
