Okay, I know I’ve been looking back a lot, but hey, it’s that time of year. Here’s my review of 2016 Knitting Designs
A few days ago I wrote about all my amazing students in 2016. As I was going through all my pictures I also came across a lot of happy memories of the fun I’ve had with my fellow yarny friends. I spend about 1/3 of my year on the road. I have a wonderful husband […]

We’ve looked as seaming garter stitch, shoulders, and even tackled the dreaded topic of selvedge edge and mattress stitch.
