No-Photo Update

No photos this time, I’m afraid.  Just jabber.  – – – – – – – I’ve finished “Secret Project”.  It was quick, easy, and fun to knit.  (Hurray for those projects.)  When that was done, I promptly began “Another Secret Project”– also knitting, but not quite so quick and easy.  Still fun, though, as it […]

Random This & That

Progress Reports: I’m getting close to the end of the Very Vintage V-Stitch-Ghan.  Maybe a handful more rows until I’m happy with the length, then taking care of tidying up the sides, which are a mess, since I haven’t woven in any of the tails.  I plan to crochet over them when I crochet along […]
