I don't have anything new to show you this week on the Master Knitter front - my vest hasn't been touched in a week or two, and neither have my swatches! But, I thought I'd go over some of the reference books that have come in handy for me while working through the Master Knitter program.… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday #12

I have a bit more to show you this week… Continue reading WiP Wednesday
Roses from my Garden

Actually, now that I've pulled it out to take a picture of it I've not gotten as much… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday #11
