So nattienatnat , scathach , aflamingstar and I have decided to attempt to become Master Knitters.

This is a little scary.  You can see how scary by following the link.  It's so scary only about 800 people in the country have completed it.

Gulp.

I can't afford to get the supplies right now, but I will at the end of the summer.  You have as much time as you need, but if the rules ( Read more... )
