Time to myself.
I’ve been on travel for work for six days. That means a lot of me time. While I have spent time at meals with coworkers, time on skype talking to Kevin, I’ve also spent a great deal of time alone. I’ve filled that alone time much the same way I fill any other time, with…

A few new things.
With the recent finishing party that’s been happening around here, I had to cast on some new things. Absolutely had to. First thing, I cast on for a new shawl. It’s the next in my wardrobe architect knitting list: the Boho Blush by Andrea Mowry. It looks so big and squishy and cozy and romantic,…
