I really do love wrapping things up in yarn or even just picturing things wrapped in yarn in my head. I fell on this website called Knittaplease.com and i was happy to find that i'm not the only one!
A group of knitters go around and basically "tag" random things like light posts, door handles, fire hydrants, etc. with heir unfinished knitted pieces or left over yarn from a previous project.(Sister Valentinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04431217873535650862noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048905674465882184.post-65553728049171485602009-06-25T18:24:00.002-04:002011-05-04T20:36:22.172-04:00a handmade moment video
