    Virtual Knit Night December 10th

    When we started our regular virtuals mid-March a consistent theme was what to knit next, facing world wide lockdowns and collective fear, not exactly knowing what this was all about, as crafters at least the extra time at home gave promises of activity, and we all had ambitious ideas about completing one project after the…

    One Cool Wool, Two Cool Wool, Three Cool Wool, Four!
