So, unfortunately I don’t have any lovely pictures to show you, but I have made progress!

First, another episode of yarn acquisition that should have been included last time:
Before I left on my honeymoon, I had a lucky windfall in the yarn department, courtesy of Lime & Violet. In their Charity archives, you’ll find this post, putting out the call for donations to help a gorgeous pit bull named Roo raise [...]

Last weekend was a very busy weekend, as Andrew and I went back to PA to take care of some wedding details and visit family. We did a lot of running around, but I did get a chance for some knitting related activity! Before we left on Friday I was almost finished with my [...]

This morning I made my first trip to my local yarn store, Sandy’s Knit ‘n’ Needles at the corner of Union Turnpike and Parsons Boulevard in Flushing. I pass it almost every day on my way to St. John’s, and I’ve even considered going in to get something for my voracious knitter future MIL, but [...]
