He is using yarn from Two Guys Yarn Company. It will incorporate the Non-Euclidian heel by Sarah Jordan and The Discretion Cuff by Gene Beenken-Draper. Greg is working on a test knit for Danielle Thuen from Crits and Knits. It is a dice bag with dividers to keep your different sized dice separated. It’s lots of fun.
