Framework Bralette and Holiday Gift Project
Shortly after finishing Vellichor and having a whole skein leftover, I wanted a quick weekend knit to use up the yarn rather than throw it back in my stash. I had been eyeing up patterns by Jessie Maed Designs for some time now. Several of their designs would make good wardrobe staples that can be […]
New Drum Carder
This week was the Mr. and my wedding anniversary. As crazy as things have been we really did not plan to do anything nor talk about gift giving and such. While we are not much of the surprise giving kind of couple the Mr. did hit me up with a big one this year. I’ve […]
