With the cooler autumn weather and my old nasty slippers, I thought I’d make my next pair instead of buying new ones. It was actually a really good decision. All I had to buy was the yarn, and one skein was all it took to finish a pair, so I spent less than $5 for […]
Cardigan Ready to be Reborn

Zoo Day!
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved to go to the zoo. The animals are cute and funny, and I learn new things with every visit. I’m also struck by nostalgia every time I go there. I remember the gorilla Samson and how I thought he was the best. And my complete love affair […]
