I have a VERY special guest in my closet: my youngest daughter Raleigh! She talks about her STEAM fair project, including materials and process.

Welcome back to the closet! It's been a year... literally! I talk about how my goals for 2023 went, what I'm working on now, and a couple plans for 2024.

The past few weeks have been pretty tough around here!  Yarn Crawl (not tough!); locked knee; covid; herniated disk and sciatica pain; summer vacation with lots of extra girls and babysitting!

This week has been a tough one! Lots of self-doubt, and a family sickness have knocked me down. I've been working on a shawl pattern called Wild At Heart Stripe, available for free on Ravelry. I'm using a yarn from A Whimsical Wood Yarn Co. and one from Yarn Experiments called Cohaire. This weekend is the WNC Yarn Crawl! I'm heading across western North Carolina with my fiber frien
