April 2017 KALFH Projects
Last month, I was lucky enough to host a Knit Graffiti Trunk Show at my LYS. Yes, I know I design my own patterns but I'm a big fan of supporting amazing women around me. I have a lovely, albeit long-distance, relationship with Lesley, and wanted to promote her designs in my area.
So April is pretty much an ode to Knit Graffiti!
Remember!
If you're in the Portland/Beaverton, OR area, you can always come take these classes in person with me at Nitro Knitters!
