This is worthy of a sale (and some champagne) – VeryPink Knits hit 30 million views overnight! I can’t even fathom that number, thank you for having 30 million knitting questions! Buy any two of my patterns/tutorials, get one free. Socks and mitts and a poncho? Christmas stockings and a sweater and a cap? Third one is on me. Just add three patterns to your cart and the software will take care of the rest. And thank you, thank you, thank you!

Note from Staci – In this episode, I mentioned that I usually only wash my hand knits once at the end of the season, and this is true, but I wasn’t thinking about socks when I said that! I knit machine-washable socks, and I machine wash them and set them out flat to dry more than once a season!
