The Victory Garden: Yarn and Curiosities
www.victorygardenyarn.com
16
To me, a Victory Garden isn’t just about growing your own food for liberty, but a general movement toward a more self-sufficient existence in all aspects of one's life. My Victory Garden has all sorts of things springing out of it, grown from my own two hands: cozy knits, yummy food, colorful crochet, and a lot of other curious things in between. How does your garden grow?
