Unpinned

December 22, 2006 Swatches

December 21, 2006 Stash

Ok, I could post about a couple of things, but I think I’ll save them for later when I have more time. I have a finished project that I’m waiting to take some good pictures of. I am just not very good at taking artistic pictures of fabric (unlike brooklyntweed, I just LOVE his pictures!!) [...]

Issues

December 8, 2006 Knitting - General
