Master’s Monday 2

Posted in TKGA on January 14, 2008 | 3 Comments »

This week, I worked on my seed stitch swatch (again), using the combination knitting style suggested by Divine Bird and my Dear Friend Jen. I’m unhappy. It’s still got holes.

Friends That Rock

Today I joined the ABC-along on Ravelry. The idea is to post a meaningful-to-the-photographer photo every other week that corresponds with the assigned letter of the alphabet for that week. I offer for “A” the Amaryllis blossom at my friend Dawn’s house. We spend at least one afternoon at her house per week. The boys [...]
