Last night began like a lot of other nights around here. Sweetie and I invited a few friends over for dinner (grilled chicken stir-fry…yum!), we watched a movie, and I knit. I’ve almost finished the body of the Heima sweater, see?
Anyway, we were all enjoying our relaxing little evening in when we noticed the cat [...]
A few years ago, Sweetie and I picked out yarn to knit a cardigan that I had been admiring for quite some time. It was the first adult-size sweater that I had ever cast on, but if anyone had tried to talk me out of the pattern I’m sure I didn’t listen. However, the pattern [...]
