On the Needles
From the Armchair

12 GBP- just under $20 US
Enter to win your own copy of Yarn play or a skein of Malabrigo Lace Weight in the Applewood color which was used in the Apple River shawl in this book. Tell me which of the Yarn Play patterns is your favorite in this thread in Ravelry.
Product Discussed:
Heard about these on Episode 142 of Knitting Pipeline where Paula talked about having ordered them. Dan ordered these for me on 9/10 and they arrived on 9/18.
I bought this set: Jin Que 32” circulars size 6-16
$5.69 plus $.99 shipping
According to the conversion chart these are 1.5mm to 5mm (000-8 in US sizing). I'll let you know more about them when I start knitting with them
Life in Focus
Festival Photography Challenge
5 Categories- at least 1 pic of each
- Festival Food
- Festival Faces
- Festival Atmosphere
- Wild Life (if no animals present- take more photos of anything else that’s “wild” or the people at the fair)
- Festival Close-up
You can take photos at any fall festival, fiber festival, arts fair that you attend (Just going apple picking or pumpkin picking at a place where you just pick your apples and go home doesn’t count. Sorry folks).

To be entered to win you must:
- Tell us the name of the event you attended (link to it, if possible)
- Submit your 5 photos (or more) and tell us which category they fit
I will also start a discussion thread so we can talk tips.
