Do you have a fav “home-away-home” spot for a knit/crochet + caffeine break?
The other day I had an hour or so in between engagements in town, so I popped into @blacksheepcoffeehburg for a coffee and a knit!
It was so relaxing and restorative!

Do you ever struggle with stitches sliding, falling, or otherwise flying off your needles in unwanted ways?

I sure do!

One of the BEST solutions I have found are wooden knitting needles, b/c they are less slippery than the metal needles!
