More Afghan Squares
I forgot to post yesterday! I’ll make up for it today by posting an actual photo of actual craftiness: That’s seven more afghan squares for the Pine Ridge afghan project.

Post-Holiday Hello
We’re home from our Thanksgiving travels! We had a whirlwind trip out of state, but we’re back home safe and sound. I managed to crochet another afghan square in the car on the way there (I drove back, so no crocheting while driving). I also got quite a bit of work done on Mr. Martini’s [...]

Lever, Not Pulley
The Noro has arrived, the colors are gorgeous, and the scarf has been started and is looking great. Which you’ll have to take my word for, since my camera isn’t available to take a picture right now. Whoops! I will say this, though: I never thought I’d enjoy knitting a scarf with 1×1 ribbing. But [...]
