Knit Your Socks Off: Complete List of Yarn Stores...
http://knityoursocksoff.blogspot.com/2010/01/christmas-procrastination.html
Thursday, April 29, 2010. Complete List of Yarn Stores. I have been a bit amiss here, which I regret. First my computer died, then the hard drive had to be recovered, and then I got really busy with life. On another note: I recently published my own design website http:/ www.knityoursocksoff.com. In addition to the site, which shows my designs, I will begin to write a design blog about my knitted pieces, which range from clothes to furniture. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Knit Your Socks Off: Fair Trade the Second.
http://knityoursocksoff.blogspot.com/2009/12/fair-trade-second.html
Wednesday, December 9, 2009. Fair Trade the Second. After my whole diatribe of "Fair Trade Knitting" last week, I had to eat my words (literally) :-)! I glanced back at the sign and it said $6 per quarter pound. So I went back to Whole Foods and looked at their salads, but after having eaten this amazing concoction of green, red, and purple leaves, I just could not go back to the packaged, slightly limp version. I asked my husband what he thought. Could we really justify spending so much on SALAD? Our fa...
