I got this GORGEOUS set of mini skeins from The CATT Lady – it’s her Valentine’s Day Conversation Hearts mini skein set (she still has one or two left at a VERY GOOD price, if you’re interested). They are soft, squishy 20g mini skeins, and I love the colors so much. I can’t wait to figure out what I’m going to knit with them!
That’s all for this episode 🙂 I haven’t decided if I’m going to record weekly, biweekly, monthly… I guess it’s going to depend on how fast I knit. But I have missed you all so much, and I’m very happy to be back. ❤ Take care!
