Summer is here! And I, for one, am relishing the chance to soak up the sun’s rays, dig in my garden, and knit on the patio. I know that summer is traditionally a slower time for knitting, but as in past years, I’m out to change that: That’s right, it’s…

Holiday knitting

July 3, 2015 by Amy

Happy Friday, and happy holiday weekend to those of you in the US! I’ll be knitting this weekend (I know, you’re shocked), but while knitting is my job, don’t feel too sorry for me for having to work! In some ways I’m on a little bit of a holiday because…
