Happy December and Welcome to Wool on Sundays!

Welcome to the August edition of Wool on Sundays! It has been very hot here, lately. Much too hot for knitting really but I did make a couple of small ice creams. I made them for my Endeavourers quilt but then decided it already had too much going on. Should you happen to want to […]
