After years of #crochet, I decided to learn continental knitting! There is still a ways to go, but I’m really enjoying the process (and my Lantern Moon needles are amazing)! 🧣🧶

The Elements of Design!
My lounge chair is nearly always covered with a blanket because my dog loves it as much as I do…
He knows that it’s off limits, but as soon as he thinks I’m out of the house, this is how I find him!

Can’t believe that there is only a week until Christmas! Less than that if we count Christmas Eve…(and once again the Christmas cards are on my desk, still not being mailed!). 😫
