*No WIPS - Your project must be begun no earlier than 1-September and finished no later than 30-November

*Each project that you knit/crochet/weave/spin must be at least 20yds/18.3m that you finish and post in the Ravelry FO Thread counts as 1 entry into the giveaways. If your project is not at least 20yds/18.3m, you need to group it in a single post with other projects that together total at least 20yds/18.3m.

Ask the Geeky Girls -
Hillary (CraftyTextileLady) from Canada asks:
I have a question for CC (since I’m going to go out on a limb and assume Dami is too busy with school to be attempting it): How are you doing with the Modern Ms Darcy reading challenge? I’m trying both it and your reading challenge for the first time this year. I have found it has caused me to pick up books that I otherwise wouldn’t read, some of which I’ve enjoyed and others not so much.
