Look – I have actual knitting!

Checking in…
I'm still here I promise! I'm plugging away at pattern submissions mostly. I've had several rejections lately, but I'm not letting that get me down! All of the ideas are really good, I think, so I'll be pulling them back out later to self publish. Or they might get sent into another call if a… Continue reading Checking in…
