Whew! This weekends shop update went off without a hitch. It was a busy weekend full of packaging tape and laser printers, but in the end every paid order was out the door on Monday.

I started a pair of socks with my Troika Sport in Cabbage. This skein is from my seconds bin. As you can see, one ply is different and, therefore, doesn’t take color like the rest. This is something I find sort of neat, and sort of annoying at the same time. Mostly annoying.

I have caved.
Behold The Crochet Afghan Blanket. Last year I would have told you that The Crochet Afghan was a project reserved for old maids and senior citizens. Today I eat those words. Except for my afghan isn’t Old Guacamole and Newborn Poo colored Red Heart. (Actually, I do like those colors, but I do […]

At last. My portion of my tax preparation stuff is done. Now its up to the accountant to work his magic. I laugh when I think about how I almost embarked on the journey to become a CPA. Although a noble and necessary profession, it is certainly not for me. No way.
