We will, for the purposes of this article, ignore the fact that yarn is the most important tool of all. I mean, you can have the fanciest hooks in the world, but you won’t get far without some yarn, right? But there are other things that are necessary;[…]
I have always loved the movie “Beetlejuice” and so I’m excited for the new movie coming out. With that in mind, I made a baby afghan to pay tribute. Believe it or not, this blanket is made in only two pieces, with just ONE seam. It’s quite simple[…]
