Something I Didn’t Have Time to Blog About: New Cardigan 0
This is my basic black cardigan. My own pattern, based on every other pattern I’ve ever knitted. I wanted something warm, but not too warm. Something basic, but not too boring. Something cozy, but not frumpy. I partly didn’t blog on it, because I overwore it. Have you ever overworn anything? Like to the point [...]

No, I Do Not Need Glasses 0
The title of this post reminds me of a Charlie and Lola Episode. “I extremely, absolutely do not need glasses.” What I wear while knitting or reading are not technically glasses. They are shaped like glasses, but the function of glasses is to change the focal distance of your eyes. I don’t need any change [...]

If I Had a Sheep… 0
… this would be the color I would want it to be. It’s called Citrus (Madelinetosh). Good enough to eat, if sheep tasted like tangerines. Seriously, though, there really are orange sheep. Apparently some Scottish breeders dye them orange for show. Another farmer painted his sheep orange to prevent rustling.

Where are they Now? 0
Remember the Christmas Mouse? She has her own cardigan, and often shifts between dressed and undressed. Is there anything more fun than buttoning and unbuttoning buttons?
