I’d planned to do an update on how my trip to sleeve-island is going (better), but then the cat wanted many snuggles. And for the sake of household peace I could not deny her this thing. So behold instead, a lovely cop of yarn I finished plying earlier this year:… Read More »This Post is a Shameless Cop-Out
I’ve been working more on the sweater I started a long long time ago on another continent.

I know, I know. It’s like March and I’m just getting around to week 2 of Andean Weaving here. But life has been busy. My team at work is still under staffed, but we have head count approved so this will get better. It’s not a case of the company… Read More »Andean Weaving Week 2: Tanka Ch’oro
