See what I think about things I’ve worked with.
When friends move across the country and leave their stuff at your house, it is a nice thing to send it to them. It is sort of unreasonable to delay the shipping of said thing(s) because of a complex plot to actualize an inside joke in a bizarre, cross-referential way. But if it’s even occurred … More Fake Parenthood
I love how lace looks while it blocks. The curves that were squashed on the needles curve elegantly; the noodle-like appearance disappears into smooth flatness, open work blooms, and stitches even themselves out. My husband looked at the large crescent on the floor, grabbed a couple of zauberballs and my pinbox, and did this: Now … More Annisthesia

Pongo una traducción mas o menos literal por abajo, y voy a escribir enteramente sin diccionario. No he practicado en tanto tiempo que … More Victoría!

I want to say to my love, … More 2 years
