Notes

Ruthie’s fiber and textiles journey began with her grandmother, who was a seamstress, knitter, and crocheter. In the past couple of years, it has become her happy place and helped her through depression and anxiety. She loves to make things for herself and her loved ones, and knitting is a great way to cultivate patience, mindfulness, and love. Whatever she makes -- garments, toys, blankets, etc. -- is always infused with hours of thoughts and good intentions. She believes that Barbara Walker and her treasuries are a wonderful gift for knitters.
