This week's feature WIPs include the Clapotis, worsted weight socks, the never-ending Fuse Cardigan and the Star Leaves wedding shawl. FOs include a modified sockhead hat, felted clogs, the Duotone cowl and the Insulate dalek hat. Baubles and Bling this week featured the last two club offerings from the Hello Yarn fiber club. We did not draw a winner for the Grime Guard contest this week because we want to give more time. We started a new contest to win an Annika Cowl pattern by KnittingKnirvana!
