Whoops!

March 28, 2008

Here I thought I was being so organized. But I forgot something I needed to add to my current stash for the 101 in 1001 goal: a Tulip baby sweater kit, with about 250 yards of yarn in it. Humph. I’ve updated my spreadsheets, and even made this handy-dandy chart showing my progress to date: [...]
