sheep shearing and more.

Knit along in the group, Japanese Garden Shawl, designed by Wendy Johnson.

On the kneedles
Watermelon socks as a treat for myself. Abi Grasso dyed the yarn and wrote the pattern I’m using for it.

  1. I really like the watermelon socks. If I'm ever tempted to buy yarn online, that's something I might be interested in. Have you listen to Abby's kitchener tips on Knit Knit Cafe? I think it is episode 29.
