Six more weeks of winter have been predicted. Welp, it’s a good thing I knit myself up a new scarf/wrist warmer set this past weekend then… Honestly, I knit a lot, but more for my shops than myself. I hadn’t come up with a new scarf or set of wrist warmers for myself in a [...]

To avoid monotony though, I’ve been racking my brains for new knitting ideas, and coming up with and focusing on some new designs. My newest brainchild is this fiber choker. It came about [...]
