Published On: January 3, 2016

They’ve actually taught me enough that I may have just sent a cable on the secret designers’ wire service to one of my favorite yarn folks to see if we can hatch a little plot.  Because this will require just the right yarn, and that’s too good an opportunity to pass up!
