Goodbye, 2016. Hello, 2017! I love the idea of starting new. New school year, new calendar year, new project, new office supplies, new planners, it doesn't really matter.

Music on My Mind

Planning Ahead
Most of my knitting is currently under wraps. The baby gifts are coming along nicely, I finished a hat, and I did work in a few more rows on Dan's Socks.

Charleston Tea, finished!
Just today, I put the Charleston Tea in the mail, to return home at Good Karma Farm up in Maine. I know that I have said it here before but it is worth repeating: I love this yarn! It is a new blend and weight for them, and I am hoping to purchase more at… Continue reading Charleston Tea, finished!
