Starting to look like a sweater

Don’t you think? Once I finish the ribbing at the bottom, I’ll just need to add the sleeves and the ruffle, and lastly the closure. The closure is supposed to be crocheted ties, but I am thinking a shawl pin might be a fun option. As luck would have it, I am currently holed up […]

Just some chit-chatty stuff from me

Hello! It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything here other than bestseller lists. I have been busy with one thing or another for months, but I have a few minutes tonight to post an update, so I thought I’d take advantage of it. So, what have I been up to lately? Well, from […]
