Summer Synopsis

Summer is gone. Now into fall. Summer flew by. I am now officially "retired"?




I submitted and passed level three of the TKGA MHK program, I am now a Master Knitter.





Finished the Hemlock Ring Doily Blanket, Williamsro, and Clapotis.






I added 40 more rows to Primavera.
Now I'm working on Storm Rund Dug, another doily blanket.
