WIP: Versio
I’ve been plodding along on my versio, for those of you who may be wondering. I took a few WIP photos over the weekend, which show how far I’d gotten: As you can see, I was almost at the cuff […]
Trend: LOVEly yarn
Valentine’s Day! I have some project updates for you, but for today I wanted to share some gorgeous love-themed yarns with you: First off is Viola Viola‘s Old Rose M/C/N. Worth mentioning that her “love” colorway was the one I […]
