Video Review of Circular Needles by Loops and Threads

Today, I have a brief Review of Circular Knitting Needles by Loops & Threads. I found 16" length sized 6 and 8 (US) to use for hat knitting, want to share why they are unique.This is also an update on my #OneADay2017 goal to knit a chemo hat every day.
Not to say that these are the only needles I use, but it's exciting and a new find for me, to assist with hand-knit chemo hats that I donate to Halos of Hope. I did find by a lengthy search after posting this that these are a Michael's brand (Normally, I would include a link so that you can find them, but they are not on their website or anywhere else I can think of.) As I said, I don't think they are the only ones on the planet, but if you need them, I know you can find them.
NOTE: I found some at Makers' Mercantile, look for 16" Addi Turbos and pick your favorite points. If you don't live on the Westside of Washington State, try the Skacel website!

Video Book Review, WestKnits BestKnits by Stephen West

Today, I have a brief Book Review of West Knits, Best Knits (Vol. 1), by Stephen West, published in 2016. Link is to view the patterns in the book through Ravelry.
I mentioned that I first was introduced to Stephen West on the Fiber Hooligans podcast. If you'd like to hear that episode go to THIS LINK and look for the episode dated 7/24/14 (apologies, there's not a link for the single episode that I can find.)
Extra: The shawl I'm fussing with is the Strandwanderer (link to my project in Ravelry). I purchased the Lorna's Laces Iris colorway from Ewe and Brew when they very first opened, then began the project as part of a KAL, but it took me forever because I only worked on it at knit night AND because I doubled the size. Did I mention I like big shawls? When I moved away from that shop, it bothered me that I hadn't finished it yet, then I bought some LuLaRoe leggings that matched the colors. That made me churn it out to the finish!
