Questions for Me

I am making slow but steady progress with my sweater but oh so much sticking stitch! I’m knitting a row whenever I get a chance to to try and get further on, but 3mm needles are making it slow going. Am being determined though and not allowing myself to cast on anything else until it is finished too which is helping a bit. How is everyone else getting along?

Questions for Me

I was wondering if you could perhaps talk about the new heels you’re using on your most recent socks? I’m always interested in new heels do gussett techniques.

I notice that you have made some really nice sweaters for your relatives. I was wondering if you have ever made a bottom up sweater. If you have, do you have any tips on how to get the sizing correct, since you can’t really try it on. I would also be interested in hearing about any general tips you have for making sweaters that fit.

episode 133

Book Review: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

J.K. Rowling is able to bridge the gap between reading for children and adults with her Harry Potter Series. This is the third book in the series and it deals with an escape from Azkaban Prison by Sirius Black. Black was convicted of killing thirteen people at once and there are those who say he is in league with Voldemort. With his escape, everyone is looking out, especially those at Hogwarts.
I have read this series many times and love it as much as the first time reading it. I recommend this book.
