Too Many Projects, Not Enough Time
Me wanting to absolutely try merino yarn has been the result of binge watching knitting podcast, so I bought 3 skeins in This Is Knit, a lovely yarn shop in Dublin. But what to make with it? I knitted plenty of fingerless gloves, sometimes even a full pair. But never a pair with fingers, so…
Following a recent post in which I confessed how I was sucked in the world of yarnfluencers, I decided to start a series of posts where I write about a finished project that was in some way inspired by meandering in the online crafting community.
