I think I’m finished with The View. I should clarify that I’m not a huge fan, but I need to have sound while I’m working and my wee LCD television does a great job of providing sound. However, Elizabeth Hasselback has really got to stop with the blind hero worship of all things [...]

Cast on last night while waiting to get sleepy …

It will eventually be the “Superlong Wrap” from the Knitting to Go deck of patterns. I upped the needles to 11’s and substituted Nature Cotton. It’ll go to David’s stepmom when it’s finished. Because I’m a giver that way. No matter that [...]
