Last week we met Ron and Cecil Miskin, our "buffalo guys" who turn bison down into yarn. Well, this week I present a buffalo gal, none other than Judith MacKenzie McCuin. In addition to teaching classes and writing books and working on other yarns, the much-revered fiber artist is now producing her very own artisanal blend of bison and Merino—and I have two skeins to show you.

A Heckuva Heifer Haul
I've finally tallied all the contributions to our year-end Heifer International fundraiser. Together, the Knitter's Review community has raised $3,750 for this wonderful organization. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

In the Forum: Creating Cables
Do you use a cable needle when turning cables, or do you tend to turn your cables without a needle? And if so, which technique do you use? And did you even know there was more than one technique? Join our cable chat.
