I've got 6 rows to do on the right sleeve. About 40 or so rows to do on the left sleeve. Weave in the ends. Block a little. And then I'll have my sweater. !!!!!I've been planning what I want to try for the finished object shots - they will be much better than the… Continue reading So Close!
Sneaky Memories
Memories are tricky things. There are the memories that you think about so frequently and you just know you'll never forget, even if they get blurry around the edges and then there are the memories that sort of hit from left field and it just seems crazy that you still remember such a thing.

Covered.
My sweater is making progress - as of a week ago it was here:(excuse the iphone claw hand). In the last week I have finished the body of the sweater, right down the to the bottom cable and lace patterning and even bound off! The sleeves await me now - I need to go dig… Continue reading Covered.
Mama’s Midriff.

Doesn’t everyone feel like this?

For the record, her dad put the blanket on his head the night before while I was out and she started to mimic him last night. I didn't know any… Continue reading Doesn’t everyone feel like this?
I love Mail.
