Branching Out

So this is what I’ve been working on- It’s called Branching Out. It will hopefully be a pretty lace scarf for…er…somebody. Dunno who yet. Maybe Matt’s mom. This one is working out so much better than the nastily boring feather and fan pattern that I gleefully ripped back. On the workfront, classes are going sooooo […]

Harry Potter Hats

I’m still making my Slytherin hat. Represent! Adrienne requested the Ravenclaw book colors.  Do you […]
