Description
It all started with a blizzard…
Being stranded in a hotel in the Midwest with nothing but a souvenir skein of yarn and a lot of time on my hands, I cast on stitches with no plan in sight. And then there were bobbles…
Lessons learned:
- Knitting is more important than food (not really, but kind of).
- Always buy the yarn.
- Never travel to the Midwest in the middle of winter.
