New Knitty is up! (And I have something in it!)

September 21, 2011 by Amy

Hi all! Long time no see, eh? I’ve been a busy bee here, eternally knitting on something I hope to share with you before too much longer, putting the finishing touches on the Charles Collection, and starting up my fall teaching schedule. A couple of weekends ago, I spent time…
