New in: Space knitter project bag for Rose City Yarn Crawl 2022.
Max of Les Garçons has done it again! His space knitter illustration has been turned into a project bag for Rose City Yarn Crawl. You can find these both online and in-person at Starlight Knitting Society starting February 24, 2022, while quantities last.
Melissa, Max, and Vincent have been supporting me for some time now and I’m proud of all the work we’ve done thus far. I’m honored to be included in this special collaboration.
Please enjoy this short video behind making the bag:
