it's a mystery!

.. but not for long!

I decided to try my hand at designing. Why not? I asked myself.

I love knitting. When I'm not doing it (rare) then I'm thinking about it, thinking of ideas, thinking about my next project (even though I have a shameful number of WIPs), and as ever examining people's sweaters, hats, etc. and thinking ooh, I could make that!

It has been a joy so far and I hope to share it with you soon :o)
Ooh, and another plus is that this is a Christmas gift for my aunt! Two birds, one stone.

How is your holiday crafting going?
