Why I don’t knit (christmas presents)
I get asked to knit Christmas (and birthday and other) presents for people from time to time, but I generally always turn them down. This is not because I am a bad person or am callous and unfeeling. I am … Continue reading
Wait, this is a craft blog.
Right? Aha. Yeah. So I really have been doing things. In fact, lots. (Which is why I haven’t been blogging). Thing one: This is really what’s been taking up my time. I’m having company soon, and my house needs cleaning, … Continue reading
