Judging by his book, It Itches, I definitely should. What a marvelous book it is. He was a lot of fun. Who couldn't love someone who wears a pocket watch (maybe I get that from my father who also has a pocket watch though he doesn't wear it in a vest pocket). It does look like he hasn't updated that blog in over a year so I suspect he isn't writing it any more.Rebecca Mezoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16138972934775842473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-71232803753868616.post-6088522594835175332016-05-01T10:17:47.704-06:002016-05-01T10:17:47.704-06:00I am lucky Michele.

The front range of Colorado is a mecca for fiber stuff. I live in a town with FOUR yarn shops and they all seem to be doing well (I think the population of Fort Collins is somewhere around 150,000 right now). I finished the toe-up socks for real last night. I'll have to blog about that one. They turned out too big, but I knew they would be. I'm calling them slippers and moving on. :-) It was so fun to be able to use every last bit of yarn.Rebecca Mezoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16138972934775842473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-71232803753868616.post-67589917913720021162016-05-01T05:12:29.111-06:002016-05-01T05:12:29.111-06:00Another great blog post, Rebecca.

Somehow I "found" Franklin's blog online and always looked forward to his witty posts and was inspired by all of the amazing projects he was working on. My daughter went to college in Chicago and when I would visit her I even made visits to the yarn store he mentioned in hopes that I would spot him. I would ask people that worked at the store was he was "really like" and they always confirmed he was a great guy - and fabulous knitter. Anyway, life moved on - and more and more blogs about knitting appeared and I drifted away from Franklin. So, all this to say that I am so glad that he has been spotted very much alive and well - and still speaking on vintage - and often obscure knitting patterns. I need to go take a look at Panopticon right this minute.Debra C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15113715394778381061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-71232803753868616.post-64122340853158085012016-04-30T18:59:14.302-06:002016-04-30T18:59:14.302-06:00You are very lucky, Rebecca, to be living in a pla...You are very lucky, Rebecca, to be living in a place that seems to have something fiberery going on every weekend (or so it seems). I have been knitting my socks, 2-at-a-time on one circular since 2009. Don't you just love getting them both done at the same time and also having them match in size?
