While I am not currently a knitter, but plan on trying it again some time, I am posting this to share with anyone that happens across this blog that might find it useful.
The woman that posted this on More Than a Knitter has 40 years of experience knitting and is also a knitting designer and has an e-book for sale on knitting caps where the proceeds help support a Winter Project Nepal to knit caps and provide books to the children of Nepal.
