Knitting! Plus some gardening, cocktails, and whatever else strikes my fancy.
After a very dry January, which should be the wettest month of the year here in Northern-Central California, February has been very wet. I have several things to block, but with 60% humidity and low-to-mid-60 temps in the house, I’ve been hesitant to pin wet …
