Thank you so very much Beautiful Fiona, for this mini class <3. Very informative and very inspiring!
Very informative. I want to apply some of the concepts to future knits.
Excellent mini-class. I am considering designing my own cable cardigan and Fiona has given me lots of wonderful ideas. I'll be watching her class "Mastering Cable Design" next. 👍👍
