the last time i was in boston, i was a bratty teenager being forced to go on a tour of new england with my family. boston was the last stop for us. out of tireless frustration, my parents ended up kicking us out of the van in front of my cousin’s apartment. the only thing [...]

i was afraid that i wouldn’t get these done before winter’s end, but i finished them today and my only wish is that i’d finished them sooner:
1×1 rib all the way up with just a hole for the thumbs…BORING! but i like the slouchy look of them. i also made them long over the fingers [...]

perfect time for knitting! i made a hat [...]

well, here’s something unexpected…i’ve been transferred temporarily to atlanta! seems there’s a project that needs some extra help and since i’ve hit a lull with my project, it only makes sense for me to go. i’ll be there for 2 weeks and i hope to visit savannah while i’m there!
more to come…
