The hat is coming along nicely now that I'm not twisting the stitches. I cranked through enough rounds during knit night to get me to the place where I was before I had to frog it all. OK, maybe I knit a circular or two less because [...]

I started knitting this scarf while we were in Kansas in August. The yarn came from the Newton Beadery in Newton Kansas. I couldn’t tell it was a yarn shop at all from the street, but then I saw the crochet friendly yarn shop sticker from Interweave on the door, and I knew.
