    I totally remember the 2011 adult version of playful stripes! It is indeed so much better this time around (the new colours are a lot easier on the eyes, too). I wish I was going to Rhinebeck this year- I was offered a spot with a group to travel down and a rented house, but I have work meeting in Quebec City the same weekend! Stupid work meeting.

    I recently began my very first cardigan project and though I am pleased with the process and my progress I have temporarily paused my sweater for self (which is part of a KAL), and begun a second cardi for my Dad, who has advanced cancer. I am inspired by your podcast - the well crafted lovely cardi patterns, the supportive tone and the way you include stories from others too. Have a blast at the NY Sheep and Wool event, sounds wonderful!
