It’s the first Tuesday of September and that means it’s time to get started on a new project, this month we’re knitting along to make Christmas stockings.

Yup, that stuff at Home Depot, it’s perfect for putting a few reminders on your fingers as you work this cast on – why bother trying to manage holding a book open or your iPad balanced in your lap?
