Since our old sweetie, Isaac, passed on recently, there has been an empty space in the house. Being a regular PetSmart shopper, I often stop to look at the cats they have available for adoption. Recently I saw this adorable orange tabby (yes, I have a soft spot for them) and asked to meet him. […]
Starting my first cardigan
Yikes! I can’t believe I am starting my first cardigan. It’s kind of overwhelming. But here goes! To see my project on Ravelry, click here: http://ravel.me/jen52/stqx4 I have chosen to knit the Cerisera cardigan,(Ravelry link here) listed as “Advanced Beginner”.
