What a great idea -- I love Laura Nelkin and her work -- but excited to be part of team #Junctionfibermill!!! Looking forward to the knit-a-long webinar -- the treat is hopefully seeing the new baby Amanda!!! 🥰 WOW Peg your cardigan you're working on -- amazing and all those cables -- the work in those just incredible.

What a wonderful idea and so needed. I’m in! And Peg, I am a retired librarian and I just want to say, “All reading is good reading!” No one should be embarrassed about their reading choices😊 Knit and read on!

I've done this every year. I love the playlist and usually replay it thru the year. I will knit a pair of socks to one of my supporters. Love your sweater Peg!

So glad you have joined this year! It’s great energy, community and humor and to raise funds for such a meaningful cause that ties into farming as well. Thank you for amplifying the message and getting involved. ❤

I just donated and am looking forward to the community event around this. Anything Theo Coleman designs is gorgeous and you will enjoy forever. Great job Peg. As for Amanda, what can you say about her signing up for a knitting marathon after just having a baby. Thanks for inspiring.

Lovely. Is it odd that when there are videos talking about donating money , there are no comments. I gave to Erika weeks ago. Thank you ladies.

I love that you're working on the Smoked Orange cardigan, Peg. I'm knitting the Smoked Orange hat while watching this. The stitch pattern is so lovely and kind of addictive. I definitely have the sweater on my to-knit list. Your progress looks fantastic!
