Knitting! Plus some gardening, cocktails, and whatever else strikes my fancy.
Before I get to the socks, many people wanted me to keep them updated about my family’s cat Rip. Well, in very early October, Rip needed to be put down. He really was not doing well. My family misses him of course, but they are …
Last March I started knitting my dark grey Donegal tweed yarn into a simple pullover, and then the weather got pretty warm, so I put it away. Then during the hottest part of July, I ran into a decision-requiring situation with my attempt at the …
