I have a pattern. I live a well-conducted life, with beneficial morning and evening routines and a good eat-move-sleep balance, until something happens. I take a trip, we get super busy at work, some health issue arises, whatever, and I […]

Rue Bossy d’Angles is a classic raglan sweater. That means that the sleeves are knitted down from the top as tubes after the shoulder shaping. You can do this flat, which is how the pattern is actually written, but then […]
