Spread the loveAs summer begins its closing steps, fiber enthusiasts everywhere in the northern hemisphere are anticipating the upcoming autumn and winter seasons. The colder temperatures mean handknit (that word applies to crocheted and woven items too!) garments and accessories need to be worn and made. The winter solstice is fast approaching with gift-giving holiday…
Spread the loveToday STITCHES South begins. Not only does this conference mark my first anniversary of being with XRX, Inc. as a full-time employee, but it also brings back memories of last year’s fun by celebrating my debut with then-newlywed Jessica and birthday-girl Lauren.
