Mary – I know! It’s so hard to choose just one. We have the Antler cardigan starting as a Knit-a-Long in a couple of weeks. To paraphrase, “One Sweater at a Time…”

Becky – I’ll put your name on the interest list for Koto. If we get 4 or 5 people interested in making it, we’ll add it to the schedule. It would be an in-store Knit-a-Long, but we could possibly do a virtual Knit-a-Long at the same time. I’ll keep you posted 🙂
