ÈVEryday Knit Bow!


The original design for this bow came to me after I had spun my first wool fiber into a yarn. I didn't spin a large quantity of yarn, and was searching for that perfect small project I could quickly work up which wouldn't put this gorgeous yarn to waste. And ever since I was little I've always loved bows. So I thought Why not Make a cute Knit bow that I can tie on my hair elastic, or my purse. And so the ÈVEryday Bow was created

can easily be made shorter or longer
