Although my first love is quilting, I admit knitting is more relaxing.<br /><br />I'm partial to the "four seasons" paintings of Currier & Ives, too.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-91161614342166529392016-01-17T08:15:16.180-06:002016-01-17T08:15:16.180-06:00Love the mittens, I'm hoping to take a class o...Love the mittens, I'm hoping to take a class on knitting.
