More Goofing-off Redeemed by Productivity
Sat down to (finally) watch the second part of The Sacketts last evening, only to find out that Hubs was right. We had already watched it and I slept through some of it, which messes with my already foggy-headed memory . . . big time. So, I watched the whole thing over again, cuz, you [...]
Slim’s New Blanket
Remember blanket I made for Sally Mae? Well, this time it was Slim’s turn. This blanket was also made from a baby pattern and worsted weight yarn and my crochet hook is an “I”. I am just tickled to be able to get a little more use out of those baby blanket patterns. (cuz, y’all, I have [...]

My new trick
I decided that I have been belly achin’ about it for long enough. On December 31st I sat me down with my book and kit that I have had for probably 10 years or more and taught myself to knit! I have only opened this kit one other time. That was when I purchased it. [...]
