Happy 2015! This week's WIP is the Easy shawlette and Jeck socks. FOs include Rye Socks, Wassup Rufus socks, and Tousle Hat. Featured Baubles and Bling include some gorgeous yarn from Spunky Eclectic, who is also sponsoring an awesome contest to win patterns and possibly the pattern with yarn! We also show some items from Going Gnome, BMFA STR, White Birch Fiber Arts yarn, Knit Cubby Stitch Markers and sock monkey knee socks! We draw two prizes from our membership and give you deets on the Spunky contest.
