Back again! That’s two days in a row. I might be on a roll. Nothing profound to share today—just the joy of knitting in a day full of errands and waiting. Two days, actually.

There’s nothing like knitting when you’re on fire for some particular project or technique. It’s a delicious obsession, an embarrassment of riches in the personal fulfillment department.
