It's finally getting warm enough for me to be excited about spring.

The Winter 2017 Mystery Knitalong starts December 21st, first day of winter. This is the shortest day of the year with only 9 and half hours between sunrise and sunset. We thought this would be the perfect day to begin our mystery knit, shrouded in darkness and, well, mystery. Plus, by this time, most of the rush of holiday planning, baking, shopping, etc, is probably done, and you'll be settling in or traveling off for the coziest time of the year read more
