the holiday season coming up.....

The perfect magazine has arrived from knitting holiday gifts - interweave accessories - it is a special edition bringing together many patterns from different sources and putting in one magazine. It has scarf and hat patterns, sock and glove patterns. in my opinion it is one of the best magazines of the year!
