How we Knit (or not) During These Skimble-Skamble Times // Casual Friday 3-21
This week, I have quite a few Tidbits to share about how and why people craft (in general, and lately), I share a project I tried to improve with somewhat mixed results, and I answer some questions knitters have asked lately.
