I have been waiting patiently for the arrival of my replacement knitting book. I started working on a summer cotton vest for myself (novel idea) a couple of weeks ago.

Last weekend was my birthday and I was old again! Thank God the alternative is not all that great. Paul got me two new knitting books and I just love them. I wanted to tell you about them. When he gave them to me he proudly gave me the whole story about going to the [...]

It is a cozy store located Downtown Marquette in the Masonic Square Mall, on the first floor. I have been visiting them for several years now, [...]
