Sorry to post so late, but today has been a full busy day. I baked a cake, had my hair done, put chicken in the smoker, went to my senior knitting group, came home, made mac n cheese, squash casserole, baked beans and enjoyed Kathie, Richard, Bob and Kay's company. Good food, good friends. It doesn't get much better than that.

In high school, I made tons of these for blankets, vests, hats...all those colors are 'in' again!
You have some great patterns and I was wondering if you allow selling of the fished project from you patterns?
