Just enough time to surface above all the sorting and packing that’s been going on which has brought my knitting to a standstill. I keep thinking that I will make up for it on the long haul flights which we are going to be taking shortly. Dream on sistah! I’ve heard that Transatlantic Flights + Feisty Toddler = Severe Migraine. Eeeeeek!!! I might just step off the plane with crazy hair and that twitching eye which has a crazed look. But,… Read more »

Yolking Around
5425 That’s the number of February Lady Sweaters on Ravelry!!! This is not surprising, seeing that the inspiration for this pattern comes from Elizabeth Zimmermann’s Baby Sweater on Two Needles.

Done done done!!!
The blue baby sweater for my friend’s baby is all done!! Seamed, blocked, ends weaved in and ready to be gifted.
