Cashmere Sale!

We've put Plymouth's Royal Cashmere on sale for $25 (it used to be $38). Now is the time to grab a few skeins for a most-coveted Christmas present or a luxurious gift for yourself. Royal Cashmere is remarkably light and has a softness that is seldom rivaled. All of the colors are truly lovely: black, blue gray, deep red, lavender, and sage green.

Cat Bordhi How-To Videos

While I was searching for videos of the Berlin Zoo's new baby panda on youtube.com, I made a pleasant knitting discovery. Cat Bordhi (of sock designing and moebius knitting fame) has her own channel on youtube. Here you'll find companion videos for many of the patterns featured in her newest sock book, New Pathways for Sock Knitters.

For those not familiar with knitting socks on two circular needles, Cat demonstrates her "signature move" in a two part video.
