The Tour de Fleece is underway! So far, I’ve been spinning about three hours a day. I think the time for this must be coming from a parallel universe because the rest of life has been busier than ever. It’s been so crazy that my BFFF and I had to …
I’ve been traveling, and you know what that means. Knitting! In the airport bar: On the plane heading out: By the light of the full moon during my very late arrival back home Saturday night: I went to Texas to visit my mom and help out with a few things …
