Make Something for Someone Else {Craft Challenge, Day 101}

Sarah White April 10, 2016 KnittingOne Comment

My main knitting-related job has changed a lot in the past few months, to the point where I’m knitting a lot less for work than I used to be. I could be knitting for other outlets, selling patterns online, writing books or submitting to magazines, but it’s been really nice …
