Knitting and weaving
tips are courtesy of experts in the field of
knitting and weaving who have graciously given me articles or permission to use
articles that they have written. Nothing replaces tried-and-true
experience; I think you will agree as a fiber artist.
"The more I look on your site, the
more I find - even some answers to things I didn't know I needed yet!!!
It's just honestly the best, most informative one I've found so far.
Thanks so much for your help, the newsletter and your "better than normal"
website!" fran~
