This is not the end of knit sewing for me, in fact I’ve got 3 or 4 more projects “in the works”  that I hope to finish and share in the next few months. A few of them are pretty “non” traditional, which I’m kind of excited about :).

Now, what’s a good roundup post without a giveaway?

Girl Charlee donated the fabric that you saw in many of the projects this month.   I’ve ordered from them a lot before (I paid myself, no freebies)… and highly recommend their site and fabric selection.
