Fiddle Knits Pattern Sale!

I don't really think it's completely appropriate to be posting sales on my patterns through the Knit Picks Community blog. However, I really want to reach out and let as many people that follow Fiddle Knits Designs as I can know about this pattern sale. My boyfriend and I are *finally* getting close to moving and I'm doing a little…

Wasted Time/Learning Experience

I managed to get a lot accomplished yesterday despite one major time suck.
