  2. Hey Tara-Lynn, I have been reading your blog for a while so it was super nice to get a comment from you! I love all your yarn over stuff, I can't knit a stitch so am constantly in awe of all your pretty work. I am actually only just learning to sew so I'm sure there'll be much yelling and cursing to come! I am hoping though to make a couple different versions of the pleated skirt and then some other things too. Ohh and I wanted to say the cream top you're wearing in the bus stop post is pretty well perfection! So nice.
