Slippery Slope is a delightfully quick knit with a fun slipped stitch pattern that is stacked close together to create lots of little slippery slopes throughout. We all know that a knitting addiction is a slippery slope…it starts with a gateway drug like merino wool (like in the Tosh ASAP yarn!) and quickly moves on to cashmere (aka. fiber crack) before you can blink! Oh the scrumptious fibers we love! Let’s just enjoy them all!
