TWiP: Improvisationally Inclined
I really like it when I have something worthwhile to share in these weekly roundups. I’ll admit that some weeks feel a bit sparse. But this is one of those satisfying weeks, with multiple projects to share. Some knitting, some crocheting, and some slow cooking.

TWiP: NJ Fiber Festival and Other Stories

Peony season ended in an explosion of pink petals on my kitchen counter. I always want more time with these gigantic blooms. I must say, though, when they’ve decided they’ve had enough, they self destruct magnificently, in voluminous piles, photogenic in their own right.

This week saw the return of things that have been scarce in the year of the pandemic: family parties and head colds. One of those things I missed, and one I did not 🙂
