Big Messes Everywhere

Posted in Uncategorized on April 21, 2008 | 4 Comments »

It seems like everywhere I look I have huge messes.

I finished up a baby hat for charity. They are taking them up at the Yarn Harlot event I’m going to tomorrow. When I finished, my husband said “But you didn’t add cutsey stuff to it!” I didn’t because I wanted it to be gender-neutral. That’s why I picked this celery [...]
