Ann and Kay Tell All: Tales and Lessons from Ten Years of Modern Daily Knitting

Get ready for stories, lessons given and lessons learned, leaps of faith and hard tests, great ideas, terrible ideas, and completely irrational moments of saying “yes.” No dress code—wear your favorite knit or crocheted garment and join the fun!
