I’ve noticed browsing knitting blogs that the projects are named. There are names of people like Natalie and Maria or there are names like Brick Road, Sierra and Sunset. I like bringing life to your knitting this way. In fact, I’m going to go over my other posts and give my cardigan a name.
I’m so very happy to announce I finished Elaine yesterday! YIPPEE!!!

The bright yellows, grass greens, saphire blues, ruby reds and a hundred other rainbows of color! I highly recommend knitting some of these up right away to brighten your kitchen or to brighten someone else’s kitchen! […]
