Allentown Fiber Festival Postponed

I just received word this afternoon that the AFF organizer has made the hard decision to postpone the festival due to CDC recommendations amid coronavirus concerns. Originally scheduled to take place on April 4 & 5, Kelly is working to try and reschedule the event for later in the year. I’ll update my Events page as more information becomes available. Difficult times, everyone…stay safe and be kind.

My 2019 Book List

Related to my 19 Favorites in 2019 video, here is a complete list of the books I “read.” (Honestly, these were all audiobooks, since I mainly “read” while I work, and the audio format works best for that! I did have some actual print books that I read parts of, as well as many magazines and online articles, but I’m not including those here.) I’m including a brief note or rating about each. Note that books marked with an asterisk were ones are Audible Originals […]Continue reading

My first December Special episode of 90% Knitting is a “revisit” of my WIPstravaganza endeavor for this year, expanded to also be an overview of the projects I worked on through all of 2019.
