A while back, Marly Bird introduced Red Heart SuperSaver Fair Isle yarn. I saw it on sale at … Continue reading Faux Fair Isle
Two friends have new additions to their families! A baby boy has arrived and a sweet boy has been adopted. Not having time to crochet or knit presents, I sewed some quick blankets. A little something to say "Welcome"! Using flannel and fleece I already had in my stash, I made a cute train blanket … Continue reading Cozy Flannel
