FO Friday - Stay Soft Shawl
We're at the Unravel Festival and I'm literarily blocking my new jumper on the hotel room floor, hoping for it to dry so it can be shown off at the opening next day. We're exhausted after set up, we've had our hearty dinner, and we're ready to crawl into bed for some evening knitting. George is knitting away on his...

WIP Wednesday – Blocking and Swatching
This WIP Wednesday I am going to talk a little bit about blocking and swatching.

Even though she had swatched for the project. She wasn't getting...

The reason I stopped is because it was coming...
