Love it! You knit fast!
ReplyDeleteYes Denise - I do knit fast - I am always making something !!
DeleteI rip out half of what I try out - but the half that makes it is satisfying. Another new project is always a joy to me. !!!
Then I usually donate what I make to charity. Everyone wins.
A lovely set Marianna, I love that yarn. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a great yarn. Thanks for showing it here and it was perfect for the hat and gloves.
