Mama Make Yarn

I have 2 kids who I stay home with & pour my heart into. In, 2017, I took learned how to knit from my grandmother. It was a great way to learn one of the skills she learned from her mother, my Nana, (who knitted, crocheted, tatted, made dolls, and much more.) As I became interested in knitting, my daughter did, too. She watched me create items, saying Mama was “Making Yarn”. I created a blog to organize my thoughts called “Mama Make Yarn”
