The Stitches West Recap

by Liz on March 2, 2010

I’m looking for sample knitters for various types of garments. These positions do not pay, but you are provided with yarn for the project. After completing the object, you will mail it to me for photographing and inspection. I am also looking for test knitters. This position also does not pay. Test knitters will knit [...]
