running on rainy winter days and knitting

On My Needles

Hey there Knitters! Here is a sneak peek of the start of my latest project. This is my version of the Fluted Cowl, by Purl Bee.

I am excited about this, because I am obsessed with chunky knits. Chunky knits are...

Well I already had the needles, because...
