Easy Eyeglass case
Lately I have been busy getting ready to teach the Needle Arts badge to a group of PiPas. I’m excited to share my love of knitting with them.
I am designing a set of simple projects for them to complete. Keep in mind that most of them do know know the difference between knitting and crochet (Did I just hear you scream through my computer?)
