End of 2006 Round-up
Unfortunately, the chaos at the end of the year, coupled with my inability to get around well, I missed photo ops of several of the projects that I knit at the end of 2006. But I did knit up 2 “Calorimetry”:http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter06/PATTcalorimetry.html headbands – one for a Girl Scout Council Christmas party gift exchange and one…
