Worst EVER!
Three guesses how Ronnie, the Big Wool Sloppy Joe turned out… Here’s a clue… Yep, it’s bonfire time. I finished the beast last week but have been so disapointed, I couldn’t bring myself to blog it 🙁 It is huge. It’s probably too huge for my sister too. I fact – it’s too huge for […]
Hat Need

Great Socks! I'm knitting them myself. When I stick to 3 rounds of Hexagons for the foot it becomes too…
Don't be put off by this horror story - I've had Yoke successes too. Just choose the right yarn and…
I agree Terri, I think this is the option I'm leaning towards. I'll have to start researching a different pattern…
