Novella

Crack the cover, and turn the page. Loose yourself as the story sets the stage. 

Follow along with all the twists Enjoy the moment lost in reading bliss. 

Novella was inspired by my love of books, it is a quick knit filled with twist and turns, a great one skein project you won’t want to put down.
