Arachne KAL and Online Get Togethers this Weekend!
Coming along! I have three more rows before I’m done with the colorwork. I decided I’m just going to go with webbing on the lower part of the sleeves. Webbing all down one arm would look cool, but I don’t know if I would wear it as much, plus it means a bunch of complication… Continue reading Arachne KAL and Online Get Togethers this Weekend!
