Welcome!
We are glad you're here! I'd love to see a pic of your Dancing Vines swtr when it's finished.... Also, I'd love to teach knitting at a local college....what a grand idea! (and could bring in a few extra bucks for yarn that way, LOL!) How do you decide what to charge? Or did the college just set a fee? Just curious, Karen G. |
