So I took an unexpected leave of absence….
… and I’m back. It was a bad week, and I didn’t feel like blogging negative things, so I just didn’t blog. But now I’m here and I’ve finished (but not blocked) the Black Pearl Yarns Cashmere pieces. You can see a really boring photo of them all folded up here. But instead of dwelling […]

Heads up on Hidcote…
Hey all.. sorry I’ve been AWOL lately… but the grant for work is in almost final form (my appendices alone are close to 3000 pages) and I can finally breathe again. I should be back to posting regularly next week. And I should be able to start off with an “I met the Yarn Harlot” […]
