- I just finished another Bigfoot Beanie. This one I only knitted because I needed something to do with my hands, so I'll put it in my Etsy store. The pattern is on Ravelry if you want to make one. 🧶 #bigfoot #sasquatch #yeti www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
- My Axolotl beanie for #NationalAxolotlDay. I actually didn't know it was axolotl day until today, but it's a good day to be publishing this pattern. 🧶🐸 www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

I grew up on English style so it's still my go-to method
