Ok I think I may have a finalized the list and things have actually increased to 9 shawls but I reserve the right ot start blocking once shawl #7 is off the needles. The other two are just bonuses! Shawls #8 was added when a wayward ball of lace yarn was located in the stash [...]

I’m glad my week ended a day early, it was getting to be a bit of a drag. Normally today is my Friday but Abi’s daycare provider needed today off for a Drs. appointment so she and I are home and I have scored a nice three day weekend. The plan for today is to [...]

I had another post that was more of a venting rant about people with petty complaints and how there are more important things to get upset over (child sex trade, dowry murders, treatment of the poor in our own country etc) but I have decided to just let it go. Some people will just never [...]

This morning on my way to work I cast off my second Norwegian Baby Hat, I dare say that this has by far become my chosen hat pattern for the small set. I think it may have something to do with the shape and how it reminds me of the head piece Merlin wears in [...]

So this post is going to be shorter so if you have any questions about the plant specifics just ask. This year I’m doing square foot gardening. My sister [...]

I had more or less finalized the list of patterns and tracked down two of the three sets of Addi Lace needles the next step was to have a personal cast on party. But I hit a snag or to be more specific I found 6 balls of grey Mission Falls yarn for 20$ and [...]
