Does anybody here remember Project::Granny Square? I don’t blame you, if you don’t.

My aunt and my mother have been going through my grandmother’s things in the last few months, and now and then they pass along something that might interest me. Last time I visited home, I was the lucky recipient of all this. There are benefits to being the only remaining knitter in the family! The […]
