| 1940s Beaded Beret & Bag #821 |
Since my first post was more about me, I thought in this one I should be getting down to business...or more to our craft. So I'm going to Begin at the Beginning!
I'm sure most of you know all the abbreviations and their meanings, but as an helpful aid to those who are just starting out, below is a list that I have found personally useful.
I'll close for now. I just bought scads of baby yarn for a project that's been waiting on me. It seems like every time I turn around some one wants a newborn ensemble in pink and white! My favorite yarn for these is Lion Brand Pound of Love. Right now I'm inundated in #101 Pastel Pink!
