For the love of all that is holy, why does the world need ANOTHER blog?!

 

I've created this blog as a place to record and track my knitting and crochet progress, as a place for my patterns and some techniques I found difficult to come by or just messy to figure out. 

I'm not here to reinvent the wheel, I just want a place for all the bits and bobs I've discovered along the way and they might be helpful to someone else. 

Don't expect ramblings about what inspires and motivates me cause honestly I can't be arsed to tell you a story. I'll be getting right to business.
