Road Maps
In light of ALL the socks I have on the needles that I discussed last week, I thought it appropriate to review Sock Architecture by Lara Neel of Math4Knitters blog. You definitely will hear more about this book in the weeks to come as I give a few of the heels and toes a try. Thank you to Cooperative Press for providing a copy of the eBook for review — and a copy for you, too. Enter to win a copy in the Commuter Knitter Podcast Ravelry group.
Party Bus
Check out the Ravelry group for a chance to win a skein of the yarn and a set of gnome stitch markers.
