The new pattern release is absolutely gorgeous and I snatched up a copy of my own as soon as I saw it on IG! Can't wait to cast it on. The fabric on the project bag is also stunning, I hope whoever receives it gives it lots of love!

[@kristendonovan5861]

I have found over the years that I stress less when I have fewer projects on the needles. It also motivates me more to finish things so I can start something new. Thanks for sharing your projects and all of the lovely things!

[@kathydehnel6172]

Finally got to watch this. I usually jump on it right away, but I am just coming to the end of week 3 of the worst cold I’ve had in years! It is never ending! I have been so sick that the first 2 weeks I didn’t even knit or crochet. Thanks, Kay. Can’t wait to see your decorations!

[@maryclapp9842]
