The heat may be getting to me…
…how about you??
My projects have become smaller and smaller with lighter weight yarns and cool colors.
Looking forward to the cool down, it’s a good time to learn new techniques or just brush up on them.
With holiday gift knitting pretty much upon us it’s a good idea to be prepared with new fun styles of knitting to make up quick and unique gifts.
