I’m lucky too, because I would have been snowed into the house, if it was colder here. The weather man said that we would have had about two feet of snow with drifting if it wasn’t so warm. Instead we’ve had two days of constant drizzle, drip, pitter pat rain.

Last night I embarked on a journey involving stranded knitting and the Checks and Charms Hat and Mitten set from Knit Picks. If you recall, I bought this kit back in July after I made an announcement in June that I was going to learn how to cable, knit fair isle, and knit intarsia [...]

So Saturday, Will and I went up to see the Brittany puppies that Mike and Mary Ann had for sale. They were born November 4 (two days after my birthday) and I had been waiting for weeks to go see the little puff balls.
