I’m a Knight

One of my favorite colorways this spring has been I’m a Knight. I know I am all about color but sometimes you need a balance and the subtle greys and silvers in I’m a Knight has me feeling in tune. Last month I dyed I’m a Knight on Swanky (fingering weight 50% silk 50% merino) and crocheted the larger version of the Walden. I was impressed that I not only finished the pattern but had a...

Virtual Vacation

This blog is for writing…

Sometimes life just gets so BUSY that I don’t even know which way I am going which is probably what is contributing to two illnesses in less than a month. I am incredibly thankful for all the amazing people – both customers and everyone that just hangs out in the NGY Rav forum – that not only sometimes help me get thru an exceptionally rough day but that also rally around, circle the...
