On a personal note, I planning for this to be the first TECHknitting blog for the 2024 -2025 knitting season. During hiatus I never completely stopped writing articles, (even if I did stop posting them) so there are a few saved up. Plus, there are still new ideas percolating. So let’s get to it, welcome to a new knitting season, and thanks for subscribing.
