[Yarn Cruiser]

This is just around the corner! How many are still making it for the class?

What are you skill levels for recevory?
For recevory I am a begginer. I know 1 or 2 things but *not enough to lead for recevory.
Had to make an important edit.

I always like to go back to the basics no matter what I think I know. With that said I like to be challenged a bit...
