  1. I love this initiative!

    I have one store left to complete my passport and will definitely revisit those I have already been to. Today I successfully attempted to get to six stores in one day - all that were quite the drive from home, but well worth the trip. Though this aggressive approach on my behalf didn't leave me as much time as I would have liked in the last two locations.

    I'm already started into the first pattern received at my project launch location "The Purple Sock".

    Happy knitting!
