Hunched

Today I have for you a fix and a ramble. Clue #2 of my In Dreams Mystery Shawl is almost done. This is an amazingly bead-heavy clue – I think Jonica (she is working on two of the things! Holy crap) worked out that there are 912 beads on just this clue. These are worked … More Hunched

Oh dear; … More Cutting the I-cord

Sordid Confessions

Dear Evenstar: We’ve been having such a lovely time together that I really feel obligated to offer you an explanation for my complete abandonment over the past few days.
