Is there a Knitty pattern you wish was in a waiting room you frequent?
We have a small care center for Dementia/Alzheimer patients in our town. Penny, would you be able to get a (rough) pattern for the twiddle muff. We also have many big-hearted knitters that would be more than willing to take on a project like this. Thanks so much! Happy stitch/spinning
Very cool!
