I’m feeling so overwhelmed by the start of school that I completely forgot to blog yesterday. Instead I attended the first football game of the season. I did manage to start a new project recently of which I’m giving you a sneak peak. The fiber is yummy Malabrigo which feels like cashmere. So wonderfully and [...]

I would like to meet the author of this sign board someday.
