Hopping
Ever have one of those spots of time where it just seems to jump forward? I have no idea what happened to the last several weeks. I was there, I did work, I did the normal non-work things, I slept … Continue reading
Restarting
Last week I hinted that I was ripping out and restarting a project. No, it’s not the skirt project. That one went into the frog pond so I could ponder how best to proceed. Instead, I resurrected a different project … Continue reading

Handspun Sweater: The Home Stretch
With the yoke and the sleeves finished on my handspun sweater, I continued working the body from the underarms downward to the hem. I worked a handful of rows using the last of the ball of yarn from the yoke … Continue reading

While some of you may still be laboring through winter with mounds of snow all around, Spring has definitely sprung here. I have quite a bit of sympathy for you. But that won’t stop me from sharing the wonderful views … Continue reading
