Oh, the holidays, they are a-coming! Here in the US, this week
is busy. We are getting ready for our Thanksgiving holiday, there
are school holidays to work around, and the general business of
planning, family, and work. Gayle and I have been busy with all of
the above and more. As I write this on Thanksgiving afternoon,
Gayle and I have already chatted about how we are grateful and
thankful for all of you, our wonderful friends, who have supported
us and listened to us, and inspire us to keep knitting and keep
recording. We really do appreciate you. :)
This week we record our regular segments, with the addition of our
newest segment "What are we swatching?" We pay homage to past
podcast guests Clara Parkes and Deb Robson, and in our own way
attempt to learn more about new breeds and new-to-us yarns and
share what we have learned. For some of you, this may be review,
and if you have more to add to the discussion, please join us over
in our Ravelry group. We welcome your views and
discussion.

This book is great in a couple of ways for this holiday season--the
book itself is a great gift for a knitter, and the accessories
featured will make great gifts as well.
