About Me:

I rediscovered knitting when my daughter learned to knit in college, and I have been building my stash ever since. I've known how to knit for over 50 years, and I love many of the new techniques that facilitate the process of designing with yarn! I am addicted to laces right now, but also enjoy scarves, hats, and socks.

LOL... those were suggestions for your question about photo tips. i spose they can be taken either way. :-)
