Hear my whine, “itʼss a big time commitment.Iʼmcommitment.I too busy.I have it forever, sowhatʼs the rush.”The class I watched last week, while knitting and cooking and cleaning thehehouse had nothinging to do with knitting. I was taking a break from thefrustration in the sewing studio. That class helped me SO MUCH inmaking my project bags. The tips and tricks were ones I knew, butdidnʼtt connect with my problems. It was well worth the time and dollarcost.Iʼveve decided to go through at least one of my classes a week.
