I don't know about you, but I'm feeling a little bombarded with all the holiday consumerism this year.

It started with Black Friday, then we had Small-Business Saturday, then Goodshop Sunday, and Cyber Monday, and who knows what the rest of the week will bring?

It all feels false, somehow. Which is why I wanted to put together a list of people, places, and things that I believe are worthy of our sincere support. You'll find gifts that represent both luxury and thoughtfulness, that support good people near and far. May I present the 2015 gift list.

Next Weekend: Meet Me in London?
You'll be seeing some very different pictures in my Instagram feed next week as I hop a plane and cross the pond to London. I'm headed to Pom Pom Magazine's Christmas party and pop-up indie yarn market on Friday December 11th, where they're letting me fondle skeins and sign books, including precious few advanced copies of Knitlandia. I'll also be at Loop on Saturday December 12th from 2 to 4pm fondling more skeins, reading from Knitlandia, and perhaps even passing around a skein or two of the next Clara Yarn. Will I get to see you there?

In the Forums: Endings
Earlier this week I made a difficult but necessary announcement in the Knitter's Review Forums. I'd be grateful if you could take a moment and read it. You don't need to be logged in or even be a member to view it. Thank you.

Now, more than ever, I thank you for letting me be a part of your knitting life.

P.S. Do you have friends who would enjoy Knitter's Review? If so, don't hesitate to forward this email to them.
