Graciously Permitted to Knit a Scarf
I’ve said before how Ben doesn’t feel the cold. Ā He rarely wears a jumper and only wears gloves, and hats when it’s several degrees below freezing. Pretty frustrating for a knitter š We’ve had several conversations like this over the years, Me: “Ohhh, look at this lovely man-scarf pattern. Can I knit it for you?” […]

From Green Cashmere I love the way the […]
