Socks….lots and lots of socks.

I’ve been meaning to blog more, but not doing a good job of it for the past several (read 6-9) months. I’m attempting to fix that now, and get back on my Monday blogging schedule again. I have been busy in my off time. If by off time you allow that I’m running a hand [...]

Anyway, they’re beautiful and I hope Jane likes them. Jane, if you’re reading [...]

Beer Geek

Since purchasing my lovely husband a basic beer brewing kit for his birthday in very late August, I’ve become a beer geek. Most probably geekier than even my DH himself.

Oh, the humanity!

I am back to the blog after a whirlwind weekend. Ok, it was more like a whirlwind week. My dyeing schedule collided directly with a large-scale visit from Nick’s family. I did keep on my dyeing schedule, and with a modicum of luck, I’ll catch up on the re-skeining, too.
Nick’s family is amazing – he’s [...]
