New Pathways For Sock Knitters
Just when you thought there was nothing new to learn about socks, along comes Cat Bordhi and her new book “New Pathways For Sock Knitters”!
Join us for a wonderful interview with Cat Bordhi as she shares her insights and “ah-ha’s” about sock architecture and how to knit a sock with a perfect fit.

New Mexico is called the Land of Enchantment, and “enchant” is exactly what Jeannie Duncan of Fiesta Yarns did as she dazzled us with the colors, textures, combinations, and variations of her company’s amazing hand dyed yarns.
If you don’t know about Fiesta Yarns, this is a perfect chance for you to find out what you’ve been missing. And if you do know Fiesta Yarns, step behind the scenes and feast your eyes!
Welcome to The Best of the Southwest - a growing fiber festival that happens each year in Navajo country in Farmington, New Mexico. It’s here that we learned about the Navajo Churro, a breed and a yarn you’ll hear more about soon. Enjoy!
Clara Parkes entertained us with stories of her rise to the Queen of Fibers (our description, not hers) and the winding path that brought her there. This woman truly loves and respects fiber, and we loved listening to her share her thoughts and insights. Hopefully you will too.
We had the pleasure of sitting down with Kay Gardiner and Ann Shayne of Mason Dixon Knitting fame when we were at Rhinebeck in October. Talking to these two was like talking with two sisters or to an old married couple… “I remember that first sweater...” They were a delight. Come and enjoy. We sure did.
Here’s a quick glimpse at what we saw at the NYS Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, NY. It’s just a teaser of more to come. Enjoy.
When Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, aka the Yarn Harlot, was at Borders in Burlington, Mass., for her book launch, I interviewed her before her presentation. She was, as always, funny, insightful, and interesting.
A good swift is hard to find, so in the meantime, take a look at my Do-It-Yourself solution for winding skeins of yarn.
