I know, don’t faint. I’m just releasing a pattern. It’s only been…two years (730+ days, but who’s counting?) It was about time. I had motivation thanks to Ravelympics (or whatever we’re calling it these days). Inspiration I must be missing home a lot because home has been on my mind. A lot. I miss living [...]

That’s how I remember [...]
