oh! maybe this will help broaden my horizons away from just unraveling and re-knitting (which i try to apply to sweaters that really shouldn't realistically be unraveled).
ReplyDeleteI ran across a blog post by someone else who loves unraveling. Of course, I thought about you. I couldn't find it again, or I would have passed it on to you.
