Question of the Week
Do you give your socks any special treatment before their first wearing? I get too excited and put mine on as soon as the last end is woven in!

Yarn reviews! Anyone want to see them? If so, what qualities of the yarn would you like to see reviewed?
Hopefully this will be helpful for those of you who want to do an afterthought heel but are a bit afraid of picking up stitches and snipping yarn in the middle of an otherwise perfectly functional sock tube. :-) Be brave!

What is your favorite gauge for knitting socks? I knit quite tightly, usually around 8-10 sts/inch. Also, do you adjust your gauge to fit a pattern, or are you stubborn like me and you adjust a pattern to fit your default gauge?

Question of the Week:
Knitting notebooks - do you have one? If you do, what kind of notebook do you use? I like to have a small notebook around at all times for making quick notes or sketching out a pattern, but I don't bother to keep the insides of that notebook very pretty. I also use the notes app on my phone to jot down knitting reminders.
Sorry for the late upload! I had the video filmed but a series of unforeseen events kept me in Minnesota a day longer than planned. Better late than never, right?

I hope nobody minds this being posted a day early. Wesley and I are taking an impromptu trip up to DC and I already had the episode recorded, so better a day early than a day late, right? Also, if you see this when it's posted and you have any suggestions for yarn shops to visit in/within walking or Metro distance of downtown DC, let me know!
