KNITTING
Barb has finished:
1. Woobie Giraffe #2, using different colors of Knit Picks Brava Sport in various colors. This pattern is from the Woobie Pattern Collection, Series 1 by Kris Carlson.
2. Brooke's Column of Leaves scarf by Brooke Nelson, using Cascade 220 Worsted in the Mystic Purple colorway.

I almost drove off the road as I was listening to your review of Dorothy Must Die. Are you aware that Judy Garland was one of the Gumm sisters??
