The Blue Brick | Inspired Yarns

I cast these babies on over the labour day weekend, for a drive to NYC. I managed to get through turning the heel before the end of the trip, and there the project sat for weeks on end. I finally picked them up again about…

I just wanted to quickly share 2 things today, that I don’t have proper photography of, but that I’m too excited about to keep to myself! This is my new circular needle holder. Tito made it for me out of polymer clay, and took pains…
