Lately I have had the opportunity to test some free patterns and I have been so excited I have been working non stop on all the wonderfulness I have came across and clearing out some of my stash all at the same time. I highly recommend that if you knit or crochet that you check out the wonderful world of pattern testing.:) I have never been more challenged and yet felt so accomplished at the same time. It pushes me to expand my knowledge and try new stitches that I might be deterred from otherwise and to boot the pattern writers are just wonderful and helpful if you get stuck. Im so very excited to start my next project.
