To Knit or Not to Knit

As an obsessed crafter, the apartment is overwhelmed with yarn, jewelry supplies and paper.

It doesn't matter the type of craft, it has probably been tried more than once. The one that sticks is yarn arts. If you enjoy knitting or crocheting and are don't want to make the 100th baby blanket or 1000th scarf, why don't you begin making clothing for you.

Okay stop screaming, you are probably thinking that there are no patterns made to fit the SIZEABLE woman. This might shock you, but some have been found. The newest find for this obsessed crafter is books. Some are little older. Some are newely published. They all bear a need to be reviewed.
