{in my basket} another charity hat
Despite blogging about the number of projects already on my needles last week, I casted on for another charity hat the other day, adding one more to my already full knitting baske Continue reading
{in my basket} honey hat
My knitting basket is overflowing these days with a number of projects on my needles at once. Immediately when I saw this pattern I knew I had to try it. The stitch detail along was so interesting!
