Last Minute Gifts for Knitters (pt. 2) A few days ago I started to write about my Gift List for Knitters. I realized I had a LOT of things I loved, so here’s part two! Everything listed in this blog are items I own* and adore. Since I have quite a few things I adore, […]
Gifts for Knitters – It’s that time of year again . . . So, maybe it’s the recent TV airing of The Sound of Music (no comment, not falling down that rabbit hole), or perhaps it’s the season, or perhaps it’s the multiple e-mail requests I get asking “what’s a good gift for a knitter” […]
Next up in the live out of suitcase life of a traveling knitting teacher . . . STITCHES East This was the view from my hotel room window. Yes, I woke up that early. I hope you enjoyed that picture . . . it’s the only one I took. I was too focused on teaching […]
