Being a good knitty yarn diet girl, I even held back from buying yet another stamp set, as I have too many for what little I do with them. Chatting with Mary I did decide to purchase the Spots set of 12 in Earth Elements…more earthy tones that will work with the vintage and [...]

Four repeats of lower basket completed and “lifeline” installed. Whew. Lots of yarn still left in skein no. 1. This will not be my “take to knitty meetup” project. I get lost to easily when I want to chat. More likely to take socks or something I can knit, speak [...]
