I am catching up on the last few weeks of your blog and just had to pop in and say- I just bought some Cascade 220 this weekend to make the Central Park Hoodie myself! But I needed 10 skeins, and I don't do purple ;)<br />I have also been wanting to email you regarding a couple easy sewing questions! I will do that soon!<br />So excited about cartoonist baby's (hopefully not too) impending arrival! :)<br /><br />-Sonia (your ex-MT ;)Soniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03701676651455395813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863792023187803515.post-25118114652611950182010-04-29T10:03:40.176-04:002010-04-29T10:03:40.176-04:00My mom taught me how to knit in high school, but I...My mom taught me how to knit in high school, but I mostly made hats and scarves at that point. I got inspired to go further and learned more when I joined a biweekly knitting group in 2005--knitting groups are the best, because everyone shares tips and advice and shows off their favorite patterns, etc. And I started reading knitting magazines, visiting yarn shops, hanging out on Ravelry, etc... And THEN I got carpal tunnel!
