Cowichan Sweater Begun
#2 son came in late last night after meeting up with a buddy. He’s here for an Ultimate tournament, which is also an opportunity to catch up with friends from all over. We went to First Watch for breakfast (Eggs […]
Klompelompe Romper!
I’ve finished knitting the Klompelompe Romper. The buttons at the bottom –the pink and coral ones — are the choice. I bought them at Petit Pan in Paris. It’s a pretty good fit.
