I thought I'd start my own blog so I can partake in some of the knitting secret pal exchanges that require a blog. Maybe I'll also post some of my FO's, if nothing else but as a reminder to myself that I have actually been productive. I tend to be an "out-of-sight-out-of-mind" knitter once I've give my FO's away.Iris in Iowahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14314226536592462841noreply@blogger.com
