I love, love, love this finished object! On June 21st I cast on the Stitch Sampler Shawl, a free pattern on Ravlery (designer: On This Day Designs). I had planned on finishing this prior to a trip I had planned to California in September. I was knitting away... ...however, life got in the way and … Continue reading Stitch Sampler Love
Evolution of a sweater

I cut the instructed size, made sure my stretch was going the correct way and went to zigzag … Continue reading Charity Sewing

Although I say that, I have become slightly obsessed with Kristan Higgins. After finishing Now That You Mention It, I immediately picked up On Second Thought. Ainsley O’Leary is so … Continue reading Book Date
