December 28, 2000
The snow is falling, I've got a fridge full of leftovers, and the house overflows with unfinished projects. Happy knitting, and happy New Year! Sincerely, P.S.-Do you have friends who would enjoy Knitter's Review? If so, use our simple Tell a Friend form and let them know about us.
In short, it's winter as usual.
The Odd Couple Returns
Completing our December focus on wool, I review Rowan's newest concoction: a 50/50 blend of cotton and merino wool. While the concept struck me as odd, Rowan carries it off admirably.
An Old Favorite Goes Online
In the online shopping department, I bring you an old favorite that just recently began offering online ordering. If you've ever perused the open warehouse shelves of Halcyon Yarn, you'll definitely want to check out their online store too.
