Catching up!  Some new yarns, some new socks, some new news.

Want to get together in July in the Boston Area?  I'm coming to Scituate in the last week of July '08.

New email address at socksinthecity at verizon dot net, so hopefully I can use it more!

This episode got cut off at the last minute--ran out of memory, so it's an untidy end, but it was the last minute of the show, and....well...

Many opinions anonymously shared on the long-term experiences of various sock yarns.

I also share this cool .pdf tutorial on two socks on two circ's technique from Alana at nevernotknitting.blogspot.com.  I think it's a terrific tute and well presented and a bargain for yourself or a pal at $7.

Thanks for listening!
