Paula came to visit us. We were talking about knitting because she's a really good knitter - in the way that she can knit seamlessly without the need to sew up seams and join up sections. She knits using traditional methods and one day, I will interview her about it. Sometimes she tries things out which helps her advance. I'm truly grateful for the things she'd tried out that didn't fit her hee hee! Obviously, this video is unpolished and just for fun!
