Do a Good Turn
I was called to Jury Duty this week. My second reaction after the initial one of being summoned was one of absolute disappointment. I wonder what happened, with which knitter, that made the court specifically make note of this in the pamphlet. And do I know this knitter? In a moment like this, I am really… Continue reading Do a Good Turn
Departing the text, departing the dock

The first red cowl
My last post was about the pink and red, and February continues to be a month full of red yarn! My son doesn't like to zip up his coat all the way, so I made him a neck warmer to keep the winter chill off his neck. A quick dive into the yarn stash brought… Continue reading The first red cowl
