Scheduled to appear this evening:
The back of Mom’s Cable and Lattice Pullover:

This was started more than 4 years ago and has sat sealed in a ziploc for almost all of it’s life. A couple of years ago, I attempted to start the front, but my gauge was so drastically different that it was coming […]

…It ain’t just a river in Egypt
It’s alive, well, and kicking here in central MA.
Only denial could allow a Knitter to continue with this:

A while back, after making up my first Bad (Yankee) Juju Voodoo Doll, a co-worker of my friend Erin requested one for her hubby as a stocking stuffer.
For whatever reason, I kept pushing it to the bottom of the knitting list until finally, after multiple requests/naggings/urgings from Erin, I was inspired to get it done […]
