The WW socks are moving along pretty nicely! I believe I have the rest of this blue and white stripe repeat, one more round of the red and gold, and then I will be about out.

When I set out my knitting plan for 2020, I planned to do 6 sweaters. 5 were already picked out, and there were a few more under consideration for #6. What I finally decided on was Arachne by Andi Satterlund – part of her Spooky collection from last Halloween. I have some lovely purple yarn… Continue reading Addendum to The Plan

This afternoon DH and I went to a Chinese New Year tea at one of our local tea shops – Indigo Tea Lounge. We went to this same event last year, and it was mostly the same – a huge bunch of delicious food, tasty tea, and some fun treats to take home 🙂 Here… Continue reading Happy Lunar New Year!
