She wanted to learn to knit a sweater for her boyfriend.Then she had to go to to Australia for further studies.Sometime 2 weeks back, I got a message from her that she's coming back for a short semester break. And she wanted to resume knitting.And with a vengeance, she did!She had this hoodie that was knitted halfway prior to her …
I just realized that I haven't been blogging for 379 days already! Evidently, the past year hasn't been my most productive period given my long stretch of absence, both on this blog and th …

When Katherine decided to join us, she did it with trepidation. It's not due to fear of the unknown, as she has been knitting for 2 years. But rather, she felt uncomfortable doing a transition from her ex-knitting instructor to us. So she's requested not to be photographed in person.
