Question from Patroth, “I am currently knitting on yarn that I love how it feels and looks but I hate knitting it. It’s silk and cashmere (cry me a river right?) but I don’t do lace and it’s super slippery. I have cast on at least four different projects and then frogged them. The current project is turning out fine, is a long tall cowl, but there is another skein! I need to use it because it’s way out of my price point but man I’m just not sure what to do with the yarn.”
Leslie is listening to Voyager . She read A Hint of Frost (paranormalish romance)
Laura has read Squashed by Joan Bauer. She is currently reading the sequel to Jackaby, Beastly Bones by William Ritter
