We also discuss dragging mohair with another yarn and how that changes your gauge. (Or does it? Let's get to...

We shopped 'til we dropped, reveled in the atmo, made new friends (and greeted old). Rhinebeck was a blast (and the weather cooperated magnificently).

Also today, some fun and favorite patterns to knit now for the coming cold,...
