I recently requested some knitting books from my local library. I just love the library but I will save those ramblings for another post…..

I mentioned yesterday I would post about my lastest obsession on here. As I already said in an earlier post, the knitting bug bit me again several weeks back. Well, it wasn’t just the knitting bug that bit. I also started feeling the urge to try dyeing my own yarn again. I toyed with just [...]
