I'd love to sprinkle my own tricks and twists to those well-done old patterns. Don't you think you've done something like that already? Applying different yarns, color themes, and stitch variations from the original patterns called for.
Greens truly calm me down and release my stress away! Knitting is already relaxing but knitting next to greens is just extra fabulous! I guess they affect my life so positively in both physically and mentally. Growing greens, knitting, crochet, and eating healthy all made my life wholesome and enjoyable!
