We are at the harbor for our annual holiday lights episode, though this year we were a little too early in the day for the lights. :) But we did have some sea life sightings so it all worked out. This episode we talk a little about the upcoming Self-Indulgent Knit-a-long which has become an annual Yarniacs event. Please see our group on Ravelry if you need more information and join in the fun. Please use the hashtag #SIKAL2018 for your social media needs.
You'll notice we mention the Pantone Color of the Year. I think the news about the 2018 Color of the Year must have hit social media about the time we were recording, so if you haven't heard by now, check the link below to see the gorgeous Ultra Violet! You know that I am going to knitting this color. (Of course, you also know that I would be knitting this color even if it weren't Color of the Year. I just happen to have some in my stash. Ha!)
Wishing everyone a happy holiday season!
