It's back to the mourning shawl, I've been wanting to knit on it some more, and feel good that I can come back to it 'ere it disappears in a frenzy of Brad cleaning! Am I a copycat? I see...

The lace here shows the mistake I fixed and the mistake I made with the fix. I still can fix it and may do that before knitting the next row. Can you tell? The crochet hook points to the problem....

The Spring Forward routine has left me with one foot in the old time and one in the new, yet again. I feel like I'm stuck in a Star Trek transporter accident and can't wake up. Mourning shawl border report:...

The center scallop of the mourning shawl border has two points, and I have finished the first point, so the halfway point has been attained. Last night a bunch of tanks rolled into downtown Baghdad and took a palace or...
