Are you feeling a little lost lately? Mid summer tends to drain energy from even the most creative of us here in the northern US. This is actually the calm before the storm of inspiration that will arrive next month, and I use it to rest and reorganize. This is a GREAT opportunity to look over and wash your woolen items in anticipation of cool weather in October.
see instructions here)

And speaking of October, before you know it, you'll have cold feet.
Hard to think about this in the blast furnace of heat we are experiencing
in the Hudson Valley of NY, but it is a fact.
To this end, Countrywool will hold a
FREE SOCK KNITTING CLASS in 3 weeks at...

  Countrywool's
FULL MOON UFO AND SOCK KNITTING SATURDAY
on AUGUST 20 from noon -3 pm
finish up a knitting project that WILL NOT GET DONE on its own,
  OR
learn to knit socks* with Countrywool's unique generic pattern

  •  SHOP HOURS 5 DAYS A WEEK

Happy summer to all!
Claudia
