So, before I knew it November rolled around again. NaNoWriMo is something that I became aware of a few years ago listening to CraftLit.

Two years ago I actually did it and knit Wendy Bernard's Tang … Continue reading NaKniSweMo – Who knows?
Progress and finishing: kid’s knitting
Well, it appears that I need to do a little catch up. I have been knitting and thinking a lot about new projects. I did finally finish the pieces of Pieman: Now I need to assemble it.
