Looking for others to knit with? One easy way to find a knitting group is to look to your local library! Just visit their events calendars and search for "knitting." Maybe you can work on the "Knitting at the Library Cowl" by Cori Eichelberger. Find the pattern here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/knitting-at-the-library-cowl.

OMG - just checked out my newsletter from ‪TECHknitter‬ this week and was blown away -- what a cool double knitting technique!! You take two squares of plain stockinette and turn it into one double-sided double-knit design with a crochet hook. I'll have to give it a try!
