Exploring this month’s theme in a new way: sometimes growth can mean looking forwards as well as backwards! I confront a long-neglected WIP (with exciting results) and also have the chance to review Hannah Fettig’s gorgeous new book.

Curious Handmade KAL News:
The Snowmelt MKAL is going strong!
We are in week two of Snowmelt, and it’s very exciting. The spoiler thread is full of inspiring photos of shawls in progress, and new knitters are joining us every day. It’s honestly not too late to jump on board.
Just buy the pattern here and come meet us in the Curious Handmade Ravelry Group! You’re in plenty of time to catch up, as the KAL is running until March.
Quite a few of the Curious Crew are doing both MKALs, which is very exciting. I can’t wait to see everyone’s WIPs as they develop.
What’s in the WIP:
Hermione’s Everyday Socks in hand dyed yarn by Cast on Cast Off
Vintage Fairy Light Socks in Circus Tonic Handmade
Vanilla socks in hand dyed yarn by Suffolk Socks in the Ted base
Times Square in Knightsbridge by the Fibre Company
This is one of the “unmentionable WIPs” that has haunted me for a year, but after facing my fears I’m making amazing progress.
