I went and made myself a hat!
Pattern: Quincy by Jared Flood (aka Brooklyn Tweed)
Yarn: Classic Elite Ariosa
Raveled here.
I’m calling this hat “Mood Lifter.” I bought the yarn last Friday after a terrible, rotten, no-good day. It was my first yarn purchase for myself in, ummmmmm, over a year…
The yarn itself is a lovely, [...]

I love October and this year is no exception!  What do I love about October?  Well, in addition to the glorious foliage and crisp weather, October means the annual Columbus Day trip to Mount Desert Island!

Thirteen days in and 2009 and here’s my first post of the new year – sheesh, I’m a bad blogger!  I guess we’ll play some catch up (because the life of an unemployed layabout is fascinating, I’m sure!)
