This looks great
Wow Marie! I love that this one encompasses so many different crafts! Thank you for always providing us with so many sources of patterns and resources to keep us going!! Have a Wonderful Summer!
I’m so excited about these projects! I am trying to learn how to knit ( I know how to knit and purl, just don’t know how to make anything. I have been crocheting since I was 14 yr old. I can still learn new stitches and love learning them.
Wow, I got my prize today! It is the Kramer Yarn Bathroom Set. It is AWESOME!!! I have not done the Waffle Stitch yet but am really looking forward to doing this. I have not used Kraemer yarn before but it is yummy. I already know what I am going to do with the finished set. A dear friend suddenly lost her husband a month and a half ago. I’m going to make it for her. A little pampering is just what she needs.
Glad to hear it arrived safely!
