With the cold, comes the lazy…

My whole house has been sleeping the weekend away. Here’s a picture of Molly asleep with her tongue hanging out.

Tangled Yoke – The Beginning

Well, here’s my Tangled Yoke beginnings. I’ve decided to lengthen it by adding an extra two rows before every decrease in the garter ridge. I am keeping track of it so I can adjust the button band for my extra length…. I’m hoping that it works out.

Just Amused With Life

Ever had a day that is just so odd, but amusing? That’s how my whole day was. People were talking to me that usually don’t talk to me at work, and were saying some of the funniest stuff to me. And I did pre-admission phone calls all day, and the last [...]
