Week 6 (and a half) The end of one journey… the start of another
And just like that, the Max Waistcoat is finished! The knitting is done, the pieces are joined, and the pattern is written (well… almost!). But before I talk about what’s next, I want to look back at what this past week — or week and a half — has been like. You’ve followed me through […]
Week 5 – Magical moments and making progress
