    Default My current project

    I am very blessed to get paid for doing a craft that I enjoy. I knit and crochet on contract for a local wool store. And I teach beginner knitting for them.

    Here is a link to the project I am currently working on. I am using a purply burgundy colour of yarn instead of the grey.

    That's awesome. You're very talented to do such an advanced project and to be paid for knitting.

    Dee ~ Hand knitting. I know machine knitting is a lot faster but there is something to be said for doing things the old fashioned way.

    It looks difficult but once you figure out the differences between Canadian/American terminology and the Norwegian terminology it is actually a very simple pattern.
