I’m already smiling at you because it’s back-to-school time and my children are at big changing points in their lives; one is starting her last year of elementary school, and the other is starting her first year of college. (That, plus I get to do a whole lotta shopping for school supplies; although I hate the crowds, I do love to sift through all the stacks of papers and pencils and other crisp goodies piled on the shelves.) And now, dear August, you deepen my shile by bringing me new knitting books to ponder. Aren’t you thoughtful! Love you, August!

Although I am reluctant to pick up any hot fibers in July for knitting, scarves are a perfect take-along size if you like to knit while on vacation. So, Nicky … well done!

Look for her latest book to hit the shelves today:
