Happy New Year everyone! Wishing you all health, happiness, and yarny goodness in all you do.
This month we start our annual Self-Indulgent KAL. What is self-indulgent knitting? We believe any knitting that brings you happiness is self-indulgent. Maybe you like to knit for yourself, maybe you like to knit for others. Maybe you are finally going to use that gorgeous yarn that has been waiting patiently in your stash. A new technique? Maybe comfort knitting makes you happy. Any and all of these may be self-indulgent to you. Pick a project that brings you happiness and join in. You can find Self-Indulgent KAL discussion in our Ravelry group here.
Remember, March 21 will be the end of the Self-Indulgent 2015 Knit-a-long!
