I will need some new bras soon. <br /><br />Thanks Joy...I think it is interesting to see what colours I used. I imagined it differently!

I'm almost always starting a new project for one of the kids rather than me. And I don't know how you find the time to do as much as you have. My goal this year is to make more for myself - I may even take a stab at making a bra, now that you've shown how easy it can be. I love the things you've knitted, too, especially the socks. Leaning to knit is on my list of things to do this year, as well.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11447949592701882774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155243672133235939.post-51931970000022038842012-01-03T14:21:40.709+00:002012-01-03T14:21:40.709+00:00Such an inspiration!
