Adventures of a Busy Mama

and family fun!
A Knitter in Queens

have several projects on the needles at once. This girl truly needs
6 hands to keep up with her WIPs. She has recently crossed over from
“new” knitter to “intermediate” knitter with the completion of her
first pair pf socks...To hang with this home girl from Queens, NY

Soul
Stitcher
Some people get an idea and think
and think and think about it; eventually allowing fear to block them
from bringing their ideas to any fruition. L'Tanya, on the other
hand, who has always loved to create things, gets an idea and runs
with it, nurtures it and finally manifests it. Thus we now have the
home for creative, crafty people of culture: Black Purl Magazine, a
crafty e-magazine that celebrates US and the creativity and beauty
of people of color.
Despite her duties as mother, wife, Editor-in-Chief and crafty diva
who crochets, knits and beads, L'Tanya always has a new "WIP" to
delight us with.

Stitchin' sista at
