Do You Have a Project on the Needles?

Thursday July 3, 2008
I get the feeling that people don't knit as much in the summer as they might during other times of year. I know I'm finding myself gravitating toward smaller projects (which is bad considering I have two baby blankets I need to knit ASAP) so this week I'm wondering if you've given the needles a summer vacation.

When you answer this poll, think more about projects you're currently working on rather than those UFOs lurking in your closet. Either way, I've still got too many projects to count.

Wordless Wednesday: Fisherman's Wool

Wednesday July 2, 2008
Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool
Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool, 100 percent wool with natural oils. 465 yards per 8 ounce skein, medium weight. (c) Sarah E. White.

This yarn might not look like much in the skein, but it's a wonderful yarn for felting.
