Hoodie GLAM
I love texture. I love dolman sleeves. I love oversized tops and I love hoods. What can I say? I love this project! However, I wasn’t thrilled when Vogue Knitting, 360 suggested muppet-like. (Keep in mind, it was knitted in purple.) No, I do not want to look like a muppet nor did I…

Yarning About Dye Lots (Part 2 of 2)
It appears the package of mismatched dye lots must have been received by the scandalous company as I now see a refund on my account. Of course, there is this thing called a re-stocking fee, shipping, and who-knows-what-else so I see I have been docked $22.25. I suppose I will take it.

Al-pac-a Appreciation
It is not a by-gone teacher who includes after school sessions to inspire, guide, and direct her students to succeed. It is not a by-gone parent who appreciates all that is attempted for her child. And, it is not a by-gone student who is willing to diligently work after school once or twice a week…

Cable Snake
I am so excited to finally be able to share one of my latest finished projects with you and am equally excited to be able to slip on a pair of boots as my foot has made considerable progress in its healing this last week! It would be easy, of course, to stand in some…

Posture is something I rarely hear people talk about and yet, I believe it to be the cornerstone of great looks. When was the last time posture was the topic of your conversation?
