Wow, I can't believe it's been a year already since I started this blog. Do you remember my first post on January 31st, 2016? I'm ashamed to admit that I still haven't finished those bears. And ah yes, I was ambitious in thinking that I'd post twice a week myself, as well as ending up with …

Aaaand, Done!
Yep, you read that right. My Holden by the Sea is officially a Finished Object! Granted, I had to abandon the idea of the picot edging the pattern called for because there was just no way I had enough yarn left for that, but bind off happened with a bit of a tail to spare. Go …

Cast On!
As I mentioned in my last post, I hurt my back last week. I've been trying to be good and rest, and stretch, and all that good stuff. Thankfully, my back is starting to do better, but I'm still laid up in bed. I did, however, manage to find my yarn, needles, stitchmarkers, and beads …
