I love your Knit2Gether idea for The Garden…to start now and stockpile knitted items for distribution to those in need. The thought occurs that many people do not know how to knit (or crochet), but there are still ways for them to contribute. I love the idea of turning thrift store sweaters into hats and … Continue reading
