Greetings, dear readers, from the land of the barely awake. Few words this morning, but I have pretty things to show you. Lovely KnitCircus gradient yarn that came in the bag of funder goodies from the Great Northern Knits Kickstarter. A Talamu shawl, with the end in sight.

Half the Year
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.

I never expected feedback of that magnitude or intensity, and I certainly never intended to make readers cry. Heck, somebody clicking … Continue reading Four Minus Two Is Not Two
