Win a Neck Wallet Pattern!!!

Out for a walk...

   I felt I had to share with you  that i'm really bored  lately. I was out for a walk last night in the big hot city. I suppose  there is other ladies like me out there, so I accept any offers about creating beautiful projects, all kind of ideas.  My niece ask me if I would knit her a Lion backpack. If you already have made a lion backpack, here is the place you can share your experience. There is many versions how to knit it and I'll be very, very happy to know a little more about your ideas. If you want to share something, go on and together in team we can create another beautiful item from yarn!
