I would consider myself an intermediate knitter who is always up for a challenge!

I love all of the the Latvian type patterns, but no real favorite.

For me!

What other things do you enjoy knitting?
I also enjoy knitting socks, sweaters and hats.

No kids and two dogs.

Snuggling up under the blankets with my sweetie, building snowmen and playing in the snow with the dogs.
