I learned to quilt on my own in my
early teenage years (along with crocheting) and found myself preferring
crocheting. The knitting needles have made their way back into my hands
a few times since then. And this last time (about a year ago) it has
really seemed to stick. Maybe it's all the wonderful new yarn, the
hipper fashion forward patterns and magazines. Whatever the reason, I'm
loving it. Here are just a few photos of recent items.
