Once Upon a Sock – June 2019

Hi Friends! Do you knit or crochet socks? Do you like to blog about them and share your progress? The first Thursday of every month, my friends and I link up with each other and talk about our socks…the good, the bad, and the ugly. The beauty of a link up party is the ability…

30 Day Knitting Challenge – Day 27

How do you acquire most of your yarn? Online retailers, local yarn shops, swaps, or large chain craft stores? What’s your favorite? I have acquired yarn from each of these options.
