What was your inspiration?

I wanted to make something special for a very dear friend who was getting married. I thought the pattern's title "See what love can do" was apt for a wedding, and they fact that they use the money raised by selling the pattern to help children in need was an added bonus.

What are you most proud of?

I haven't used a sewing machine in at least a decade! My stitches aren't perfect, but I'm really proud of myself for trying!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

The way that they want you to make extra stitches after the first few rows was really difficult, at least for me, and in this yarn. I just kept making them the same way that they were made at the beginning of the pattern (Kf&b as opposed to m1).
