October 5, 2012 By Laura 3 Comments

I learned to knit about ten years ago. I love it because 1.) it isn’t expensive to begin — just a ball of yarn, some needles and a pattern and 2.) it allows me to veg in front of the TV and still feel productive because I’m knitting a blanket. I taught myself to knit […]
