Done!
It’s blocking right now, and then I have a few ends to weave in, but basically it’s done! I promise I will write about something else tomorrow 🙂

I Just Keep Knitting
and knitting and knitting and knitting… I was very much hoping to be done with this today, and was on track to finish, but then some events happened and I’m here. Halfway through the ribbing. So. 8 more rows of ribbing, and the bind off. Here’s hoping for no more distractions tomorrow!

Arachne Report: A Farewell to Arms
Both sleeves are done! Now it’s on to finish the body.
Finally!
We got some flowers! We have quite a few marigold buds ready to go, but here are the first two to pop! Also, our lilacs have started blooming! They smell lovely 🙂 And we have quite a few buds, so hopefully they will be blooming for us for a while. In knitting news, I finished… Continue reading Finally!
