Knitting
I love knitting. It doesn’t matter if I’m making a stuffed animal for a friend’s new baby, or a sweater for myself. Knitting calms my hands, plus I end up with fun things to give to friends and family. My nieces are demanding, so that takes up quite a bit of my time. But if a friend asks me for something they’ll probably get it.
I try to share my patterns on Ravelry (I’m Marsipan). Here are photos of my projects – feel free to reach out! I’m happy to talk patterns and projects.
