EVENTS

1. Tracie and Barb will be attending NoCKRs - April 23-26, 2026 in San Juan Bautista.

Our Sweater KAL has ended and prize winners will be announced during the February podcast. Thank you to everyone who participated!

Our spring KAL will be the One-Skein KAL! Find that beauitful skein of yarn you've been saving for someday and knit it up into whatever you want - a hat, a cowl, mitts or socks. The only rules are that your project must use at least 100 yards of yarn and be all from a single skein of yarn. We will cast on for this KAL starting February 1 and go through May 15.
