I think it took me a week just to start and finish this little dress. Not because it was a particularly hard pattern or required too much knitting but it was just a busy week. This is my first successful intarsia knit (after a few failed attempts with other projects) and I’m really happy. The […]

Today I managed some sewing. It seems like such a long time between sewing sessions. There are just so many other things to do that when I finally get a minute to myself I just want to collapse on the couch with my knitting or to read a book. I’m reading the most wonderful book […]
