FTC Full Disclosure - This book was sent to me by the publisher in hopes I would review it. However, receiving the complimentary copy did not influence my review.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Are you a knitter? Have you ever wanted to try, but just haven’t gotten around to it yet? The cold winter days are a great time for knitting (and crocheting) projects, especially if you’re listening to an audio book while you’re working.

  1. Mason - This sounds interesting. I've crocheted, but not knitted in a very long time. Good to know there's a helpful guide out there.
