This is a wonderful fall set. I am reading this post a little late, so I have already seen all the following fall squares, they are excellent. I had never thought about it before, but it turns out that knitting is not only beautiful, but it is very useful because it develops fine motor skills, and makes you strain your brain, as it is constantly necessary to count, to follow the pattern. Funny but this information I learned do my papers at https://writemypapers4me.net/, on the influence of fine motor skills on the development of the brain. And also knitting develops attention and creativity, so interest in this kind of needlework, I think will only increase. More and more in our world are the things that are made by hand because they have a soul, they are made with love. How much patience and tenderness is put into each product. After all, it is necessary first to think it up, then determine what threads to pick up, choose a color, and most importantly, who will wear it.
Thank you for your work
nice work..
