I really wanted to share all my finds from the Arkansas Fiber Arts Extravaganza with you in a way that wouldn’t require me writing or you reading the longest blog post in the history of knitting blogs, so I decided to make a video. This is my first video ever and I didn’t edit it […]
Road Trips, Learning and the Fastest Knitter in the Room
Over the weekend I went to Hot Springs for the Arkansas Fiber Arts Extravaganza. It was so fun I can’t even tell you. You probably don’t want to know, unless you’re a knitting geek too.

A Yarn-Wrapped Tree for the Table
