Knitting Talkback: Because of Knitting

What has knitting done for you? How has it helped you? Why is it so important to you? Be sure to post daily knitting pictures on Instagram with the hashtag #becauseofknitting and also post to the Episode 16 thread on Ravelry. I would love to hear your stories and comments on this topic.

I totally fell off the wagon and bought yarn from Webs to make the Neon Beast by Veera Valimaki

I got the exact yarns called for in the pattern, which I never do! 

MadelineTosh Tosh Merino Light in the colors Astrid Grey, Edison Bulb and Fluoro Rose. I'm so excited and I just can't hide it! 

Yarn Ink Sparkle Sock, check out the YarnInkStudio shop on Etsy! So Pretty! 

Yarn box delivery this month was a Sport Weight by Delicious Yarns in the Red Velvet and Cherry color ways. Check out their website, so cute and creative!

Other News and Notes: 

I ran my second 5k and I finished in 29:50! 

I auditioned for a show last weekend, but I just found out today (post-recording) that I didn't get the part. That's the way it goes sometimes!
