Swatch: Review of Lykke Needles

In this Swatch, Sherri and Tamara review Lykke knitting needles. Sherri tested a fixed circular and Tamara tested interchangeable circulars. They took a little time to discuss why these needles are special, the needle tips, the circular needle joins and cables, length/taper of the needles and other information they found while researching the needles.

That's Entertainment (what we're watching, reading, eating and playing while we knit)

Tamara:

• Reread the first Dune book (Frank Herbert, 1965) to get ready for the new Dune movie that releases in October. The older child works at a movie theater and is super excited about the movie from watching the movie trailer when he gets a chance. 
• Hiking! The new house is just 11 minutes from the Konza Prairie Biological Station and the trailhead and they're about done with the move so she can put a weekly hike back on the schedule.
