Sarah White April 26, 2016 Knitting2 Comments

This week’s Iron Craft challenge was supposed to be something unexpected. As expected, I had trouble coming up with something. But I’d had this idea that I wanted to make a bulky yarn to use in my classes this summer for demonstration purposes, so I decided to take this opportunity …

I guess I’m just craving green and rainbows right about now, but I’m really feeling the need to craft things for St. Patrick’s Day. My family is pretty darn Irish (and my brother’s name is Patrick) so this is a holiday I celebrated growing up, but we’ve never done much …
