I tried to backup my blog for the first time (oops, I guess I should have been doing that all along!) last night. It took so long and I was afraid to post anything during the process, so I’m a bit behind on my Blog Hub Swap updates. For those who are just joining us [...]

This weekend, I participated in the Craft Yarn Council Certified Instructor’s Program in Knitting. This 3-day, 15 hour workshop was led by the fabulous Arnetta Kenney (who was also the instructor in 2007 when I went through the certification training for crochet). She is a wonderful teacher, who is very generous with her feedback and [...]
