Queued: Pei
I have two lovely skeins of Jade Sapphire 2-ply 100% cashmere that I scored at a big yarn sale a few months back… I bought the two skeins with twin projects in mind: something for my grandmother and Andrew’s grandmother. […]

Bulky Shrugs
I have 3 skeins of Araucania Liwen in my yarn stash… It looks like this: It’s a pretty mixture of beach glassy colors, and I have seriously struggled with what to do with 350 yards of it. As you can […]
