This month due to a lot happening where I had to drop everything and care for parents or the cat, I decided to start a few knitting projects of varying brain capacity. I needed some brainless knits that I could take with me when waiting at medical appointments or vet visits just to get my […]
A Crochet Project: Aquarius Sweater
With the change towards nicer weather (except for this week when we had bushfires on one day then flash floods the next and at the moment, it’s a cold 15 degree day), I thought it was time to start a summer crochet project. I have been using the Tejer Es Des Guapas YouTube channel to […]
