Every season I look forward to the shiny and crisp pages of knitting publications. Some arrive as subscriptions conveniently to my mailbox, others are acquired at the market or while scoring an iced caffeinated treat.

We spent a few days away on Cape Cod enjoying our annual family vacation. Peanut spent every moment he could in the water!
It’s hard to imagine that it’s been four years of visiting this beach. Here are Peanut and I when he was only 3 months old.

The summer is already drawing to a close. The other night the temperature hit 45* and boy was it a wonderful night for sleeping! Sean’s delivery schedule is heating up and the stores are already full of back to school goodies. I love this time of year. The idea of a fresh start, new notebooks, [...]
