Hello everyone, remember how I said I was going to knit another Mermaid Crop Top? I really did it! I feel like I leveled up finishing this project: my notes from the first one were comprehensive enough to duplicate with ease, the yarn I chose gave me the intended fabric, and I was even able … Continue reading Level Up

The Millennials Finally Got Me
Hello all, and welcome to real and proper summer in Phoenix. None of those cool mornings and soft nights.

Then I crash into bed, … Continue reading Summer of Shawls
