I went on safari today in my back room. I hacked back piles of fabric,

Pattern: Melon pattern, Victorian Lace Today by Jane Sowerby
Yarn: Kidsilk Haze from Rowan, 4 balls, black
Needles: One set 32-inch size […]

I used a random number generator to determine that Ari is the winner of the baby sweater. Yea, Ari! I’ll be contacting you by email to get your address so I can mail the sweater to you.
Thank you, everyone, for entering this giveaway.
If she knew, my neighbor would be very pleased to know […]

I was reading Kim’s blog over the weekend—a little break from preparing tax stuff for the accountant—and saw a quiz that I haven’t done before. I haven’t done one of these for a while, so thought I’d play…
