Description

Today we're celebrating that most maligned of fibres: mohair. It's actually rather good if you give it a chance. 
In Enablers' Corner, I bring you As Autumn Falls by Amanda B Collins, a new 4-piece pattern collection that is perfect to get you ready for autumn.
In The Sock Surgery, I am talking about mohair, specifically the properties of the fibre and how that makes it a really good choice for socks. You might be surprised at what benefits it can offer in a yarn.
If you want a great article about using sock yarn without nylon, check out Pure Wool For Socks by Clare Devine over at Wovember.com.
Finally, I describe the latest shipment of The Golden Skein's Power of 3 Club. Go and check out DyeForYarn, Travelknitter and Cedar Hill Yarns.
Show notes are on the blog at www.shinybees.com
