the countdown........

pennylane111 Oct 02, 2007 08:38

I feel like I have started the countdown to Stitches East now. I had no idea I would feel so much pressure to get things done. I also feel so unprepared.

I was just dieing to dye something and the Kool Aid was readily available and so easy and fun. This yarn is kinda special because we started with the fleece and did the whole process.......of ( Read more... )
