So, I don't know about you but I spend a good bit of time trolling the internet for good ideas, funny things and things that take my breath away. I want to share some of those with you from time to time. First up, a newish blog by Karen Templer called Fringe Association. She is a relatively new knitter but has plunged into the knitting world wholeheartedly and has great style and taste. ... Continue Reading

It was my first VKL and I didn't quite know what to expect. I've been to a number of TNNAs (the industry convention for LYS owners and others). I love going to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival and it's New York state ... Continue Reading
