Book this weekDevil in the White City by Erik Larson

This episode is a recap of the wonderful DFW fiber festival that I went to this weekend.  I had so much fun hanging out with friends, meeting friends in person for the first time, and buying some beautiful yarns.  I hope you enjoy!

We have had lots of visitors this week so I am very behind on Ravelry. I am so sorry about that.

This week I finished my husband's sweater the Twilight pattern by DROPS out of Leading Men Fiber Arts in Into the Woods!

I worked on a pair of socks, a shawl, my mittens, and began the cast on of a hat.

No spinning this week because all my time went to the sweater.

Enabling is a couple of swaps with friends. It was so much fun to receive packages from France and Canada. :)

Book this week is Bats of the Republic by Zachary Thomas Dodson.
