Do give books - religious or otherwise - for Christmas. They're never fattening, seldom sinful, and permanently personal. ~ Lenore Hershey Craftvent is back on track! Well, as on track as it's going to be when I'm starting an event that's due to finish in the next 24 hours. I'm a process knitter. I'm here…Read more Craftvent Day Three: The Snips!
Knitting
Craftvent Take Two
Be willing to be a beginner every single morning. ~ Meister Eckhart My first attempt at Craftvent II didn't go according to plan. Taking advantage of the first attempt, I decided to change out the main color and go for a longer needle. This does not reflect how I feel about the event/kal as a…Read more Craftvent Take Two
