While Ana was off meeting you at the CA Pen Show, I was gallivanting in Raleigh, North Carolina at QuiltCon. The trip was amazing and I returned feeling creatively inspired. This morning I sat down and wrote in my journal. This trip was fun in that there were photos and lots of stickers and fabric…

Fix it, finish it, or frog it February.
Every February for many years Ana and I have worked together on a little personal challenge we call “Fix it, Finish it or Frog it February.” While we specifically relate this to knitting, we thought it could be applicable to any craft or hobby you pursue.

More thoughts on Pantone and the disappearance of color.

For those without Instagram accounts, I’m adding…

By the time you read this my husband and I will be running through the highlands and sight-seeing in Scotland. We’re on another adventure with Race2Adventure. (My husband is the runner… I’m more of the jogger or walker). But that means I had to put together a kit for the trip! For the last few…
