Brooklyn Tweed Says Summer isn’t Just for Cotton Posted: 04 Jul 2012 12:46 PM PDT I know there are people who toil away through the hot summer months in homes without air conditioning, the poor things.

Felt Pinwheels Wall Art Posted: 04 Jul 2012 06:44 AM PDT Fun!

British Knitter Finishes Her Husband’s Sweater, 33 Years Later Posted: 04 Jul 2012 08:15 AM PDT I have ignored some unfinished projects for a long time, but Brenda Gilbert may well hold the record for the longest time to complete a knitting project.
