12 Weeks of Gifting — Week 11: Fizzy Drinks
With Christmas rapidly approaching, anything I recommend you knit has to be a really quick one, and this week’s special discount pattern certainly is! My Fizzy Drinks pattern creates a set of felted coasters (or a trivet,…
12 Weeks of Gifting — Week 10: Hope and Cheer
