Crafty Adventures I dabbled in watercolor using a kit from Let’s Make Art, a gift from my bestie. I worked on the Holiday Wreath using this kit. I have a Giraffe kit but haven't started it just yet. Knitting in Passing I went to a yoga class with one of my favorite instructors, Heather, at Webbs Pro Fitness. After class she pulled me aside to tell me she'd taken up knitting to make some baby hats and had moved on to Christmas stockings! We had a lovely chat!  KAL News Splash Pad Winners Announced  Pigskin Party '21: Official Hashtag: #DCSPigskinParty21 Important Links: Official Rules (Google Doc) Register to Play! (Google Form) Points Tally Form (Google Form) Sponsor List (Google Doc)- keep checking back.  Questions: Ask in the Ravelry Thread or email Jen (downcellars
