I love the Tour de France. Loooooove the Tour de Fleece. But I couldn’t keep up the pace of my personal challenge this year. Well, I guess I could have, but doing so meant less time for reading and much less time for knitting. Last year, it worked out. I …
Five days since my last post. My apologies! I think my Tour de Fleece spinning has something to do with the posting hiatus. It’s taken up a couple of hours almost every day. But I’m also feeling a little overwhelmed generally. Some time ago, I mentioned that I was designing …
I can’t begin to say how much I love this. The artist is Chiara Bautista. I’ve tried to find a way to contact her to ask for permission to post her artwork here, but I haven’t been able to locate an email address, mailing address, or anything else. There’s a …
