I can sew, but I don’t like it as much as knitting or crocheting. I can’t seem to get a hang of properly measuring, pinning, cutting, etc.
That’s why it took me so long to finish this modified Exchange Bag. This is my third one, and none have had the recommended yarn so far. Sorry the [...]

I’m still progressing on the raglan, slowly. It’s joined into a circle and looking alright so far, I don’t think it’s going to be a two-week wonder like the last one (and that was short-sleeved, anyway).
