I am woman

obsessed. I’m
obsessed with
knitting
(obviously),
fingerless
mitts, and
guitarists. Fortunately, now all three are
related. My LYS occasionally offers a free
pattern with purchase of a specific yarn, and one
month was fingerless mitts. I was in love. The
yarn, the pattern, the ease, and the finished
product all captured my attention. Then I went to
a concert, and fell in lust with a guitarist. I
was a woman on a mission. I found the
perfect cable, and knew what had to be done. I
give you…Skolnick. Make a pair for the guitarist in your life, the wanna-be guitarist, or just for you.
