Half the year has passed in a flash: winter, then spring, and now we are speeding through summer. This midway point has inspired me to clean out closets, to pretty up the house, and to clean up my Ravelry page.

About that Stash
Thank you all for your comments on Melba’s sweater! She is taking the praise with great composure 😉 I have a FO to show you, just as soon as I get my photographer back.
