Rhinebeck! Where did you go?! This weekend was a blur, and I’ll have a full write up tomorrow, but here’s other things that happened last week while we were busy finishing our Rhinebeck sweaters.
Knits in the News
I know that holiday gift knitting season is upon us (I even got roped into it this year because my mother asked for not-a-cardigan so I am acquiesing) but in case your carefully crafted hand-made gifts are not received with the reverence they deserve, feel free to point out that the Washington Post’style editor Carolyn Hax says people who bitch about hand-made gifts can suck it. More eloquently than that.
Cute crafty wallpaper for digital devices from MollieMakes.
Because we all need more ammunition in the “why I knit” arsenal, five reasons why knitting is good for you, and one from the Pocono Record here.
Great photos and a fun interview with Kathy Cadigan and Lori Graham about their Grand Shetland Adventure over on Woolful.
Creators

Techniques

Fun
I can’t wait for knit octopus onesies to trend on Ravelry.
I just really love this image.
