Not too long ago, I had a unique experience while knitting.
I decided to join a local knitting group at my community center.

Plus, the ease of construction means you’re not battling complicated shaping while you’re just trying to enjoy your knitting time!
This design is stylish enough to rock at a casual brunch yet cozy enough to lounge around the house.
The drop shoulder also provides some wiggle room, so whether you’re dressing it up with jeans or keeping it casual with joggers, you’ll look effortlessly put together.
