Knitting the Progress Flag (and how to do it yourself)

One item I wished to introduce to my store this year was dice bags. I made a really nice and neat dice bag with the nonbinary flag that, as of writing this, I still need to take pictures of, but I wanted to offer as many flags as possible on them. So, for my first of the extra large dice bags, I went with a different flag: the progress flag.

New Year's resolutions

My name is Morgan, and I'm a knitter, sewer, designer, visual artist, singer/songwriter, occasional writer, and visual effects nerd.

Stock up my store with handmade items over the course of the year, so next holiday season I have stuff to sell with
