It's release day for the Plot Twists knitting pattern! As readers, there’s nothing better than a good plot twist. The Plot Twists fingerless mitts bring some fun twists to an otherwise simple ribbing design, and are perfect for keeping your hands warm while you read your favourite books.

The “perfect sock yarn” is the one you’ll actually knit with. Whether it’s 100% wool or 25% nylon, the point is that you like it and use it.

You are free to question the science behind my research, but I stand by my claim that coffee and tea taste at least 63% better when you're drinking them from your most cherished mug.

I highly recommend having two knitting WIPs on the go: one challenging, one easy. That way, you can choose what matches your brain that day.

I cannot stress this strongly enough: Support your local theatre, café, bookstore, bakery, and library. We breathe life into these places when we support them. They need us, and more importantly, we need them.
