WIP Weee….Thursday – Cady’s Spring Garden Tee
Poor Cady. I used to knit her fun little things. Things like socks, skirties, pinafores, and bohemes, and boleros, and sweaters and….you get the point. Christmas morning was the epitome of bad parenting. One by one, the kids opened up their gifts, including a special hand knit gift from yours truly – a sweater for each child. [...]

Her colorways reflect that with their unabashed use of vivid colors, rock-n-roll themes, and carefree vibes. Where else would you find fun colorways like the widely bright [...]
I have a confession to make.
I have a bad case of WIP-itis. WIP-itis? What in the world are you talking about?
