This week we record in Maine with Lois (Knittingsmybag) and Denise (Madaboutmatisse). Lots of WIPs, including socks, a sweater and shawls, and a couple of sock FOs. Baubles and Bling include Miss Babs Yowza, Quince and Co yarn, and a birthday surprise! We are looking forward to our time at Rhinebeck, and will be wearing our Rhinebeck 2015 socks on Saturday. We also draw prizes for the monthly KAL/CAL and the shawl charity!
