Last week, I finished The Alice Network. It has been a long time since I've read a book that I would keep saying "just one more chapter", but this was one of those books. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I learned something new (The Alice Network was a real female spy unit in WW I) … Continue reading Yarn Along

Lemonade from Lemons
A while back, I saw this hat posted on Ravelry. I loved the cat hat and I LOVED the yarn from Hedgehog Fibers. Unfortunately, no shop near me sells Hedgehog and, honestly, I didn't want to spend a lot of cash on more yarn.
