Death by Sock, Babies, Knitting, Spinning, and New Pets!

She even stuck around to knit and was great fun. We're trying to convince her to come to Knitsmiths so we can see her more often. :)

But I've never officially learned, so these books will hopefully be helpful.

And last, but not least, the new fish:
