With the hustle and bustle of the holidays upon us, I think each of us is craving the gentleness of soft fiber, rich colours, and comforting simplicity. Not to mention, perhaps, seeking a quick-to-knit project for those last minute gifts to hand out. With the help of the delightful Lynn Di Cristina, we’d love to offer up a little something to satisfy those needs!
