We’ve just published Kate’s newest design: the Suspension Shawl. She got her inspiration for this pattern from the Leonard P. Zakim […]
This week has been a steamy one here in the Northeast with lots of (welcome) rain. It has us wishing for a smaller project on our needles and Amy Christoffers’ newest pattern delivers!
