2009: Planning
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting, yarn stash

3 things

It’s so sad, shocking, and awful about the bridge collapse. Yes, I’m OK. Fortunately no one in my family was anywhere close. I used to live on the West Bank, right in this area; I can’t imagine how stressful it must be over there now. In case you missed the news, [...]

Old and New

I continue to gain yardage.
