The Post In Which I Knit For All

As part of my word for 2013, which is create, I hope to be more timely in sharing posts like this one with you. For more about create & some of my goals for this year, read these two posts: The Post in Which I Reflect on & Choose One Word & The Post in Which I Think Creatively.
