Rainy Halloween
After running some errands, I think today is a good day to cast on a cozy hat. Let the wind blow! Let the rain fly! I do hope it doesn’t keep the trick-or-treaters away, though; we have a lot of … Continue reading

Almost-not-quite-done
When I’ve finished knitting a project, I’ll say, “I’m done!” and the Mr. will point to the dangling yarns and say, “What about those?” He has a point. I can’t claim to be done if the item still has ends to … Continue reading
