Wedding Blanket, or Blocking Makes a Big Difference

LYS Reviews: Newbury Yarns and Knit and Needlepoint
Yesterday afternoon, I found myself strolling down Newbury Street, a rare occurance these days. However, it was Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s, and who can resist free ice cream? For those of you who are unfamiliar with Newbury … Continue reading
LYS Review: Stitch House Dorchester
Ok, so I’m finally getting around to my favorite one of the bunch: Stitch House Dorchester. This store is a real gem. I remember, shortly after they opened, hearing from my mother that there was a new yarn store on … Continue reading
