Featured Blog --
The Brown Berry Chronicles
This knitter and crocheter's mission is to live, to love, and to leave a legacy.  Along the way, she manages to tackle her WIPs and create from her 40,000+ yards of stash.  Stop by The Brown Berry Chronicles, bring your WIPs and pull up a seat. I think she'll enjoy the company. Read more here >>>.
 


Book Nook -- Nifty Knits for Kids: Fun Wearables for Kids on the Go
Catherine Ham's latest book is devoted to patterns for children ages three and up.  She firmly puts tools for customization into the hands of the knitters using the book.  This philosophy is what makes her one of my favorite designers.
