So sorry it's been so long since I posted last! My husband went out of town for work, and then his trip got extended so the boys and I drove down to visit with him in Atlanta for the weekend. It's been a busy few weeks here! I haven't touched my Master Knitter swatches, so I'm… Continue reading I’m still here!

Three pairs of socks
You know how I said last Monday that I'd have a FO post for my shawl soon? And maybe have some Master Knitter swatches to show you? Well, I didn't bank on getting super sick later that day. Strep throat, ear infection, sinus infection, and now a major cough. I'm on the mend now, but for a few… Continue reading Three pairs of socks
