If you’re weary of marling, choose colors that are similar in value. Mixing a white with a dark color like black, dark purple or maroon is going to be a very stark contrast. I don’t always love that.

You put them over the bar on the oven or dishwasher and then you can hang a dishtowel from the wooden ring. Here’s a Pinterest link for a crochet option. Aila wants a fox. Oisin wants an alien. Hattie wants a unicorn because she thinks hers was lost. TBD. From the Armchair The Girl Next Door Podcast: I thoroughly enjoyed their annual Fall Extravaganza episodeand this year was no exception. I didn’t especially enjoy the Serial Podcast recent update about Adnan Syed’s case but I was relieved to hear that Syed was officially ruled out as a suspect in the murder of Hae Min Lee in 1999 (though he served 23 years in prison) Check out this local Baltimore news story. Congrats to Syed & and his family and especially his fierce friend and advocate Rabia Chaudry. Check out this video on Rabia’s Instagram Feed for more details. Listen to Season 1 of Undisclosed if you want more about this case (especially if you only ever listed to Serial). I also enjoyed episodes 1 & 2 of Rabia’s new podcast- Rabia & Ellyn Solve the Case. Hocus Pocus 2 on Disney Plus I adored it! In My Travels Riley, Mom & I enjoyed the Cape & South Shore Yarn Haul. Check out video on the Down Cellar Studio YouTube Channel.

Getting to see (and purchase) Pigskin sponsor Mcknits Yarn in person at Plymouth Harbor Knits At Wicked Good Yarn in Rockland, MA we learned about the Open Studios Event coming up November 19th & 20th.
