Hopscotch: New Pattern Prep

After I got the Between the Lines MAL out of the way, I really wanted to work with whirl some more. I liked how you can knit 1km (or 2km!) of yarn and still squish it up enough to fit in your purse. Also, with a previous mystery design being quite heavy in weight (which was an issue as I …

Scheepjes Our Tribe: A Closer Look

New Pinterest Hack Project

A while back I saw something on Pinterest that I found interesting, but there was just one problem… it was sewn. Now, I’m not against sewing but it was one of those recycling old clothes things and I didn’t have anything suitable to take apart to make it.
