Lis + Hurt Hand = No Knitting/Crocheting
I haven’t been able to knit or crochet the past couple of days because I hurt my left hand over the weekend. I don’t know how it happened but I’ve been told by the doctor not to strain the hand any further. It hurts lots when I try to [...]

Branching Out Scarf
