Today I took Annis on a trip to Whitby. First, I have to say this is brilliant travel knitting. It is simple, fast, and it fits into teeny tiny spaces: That bag originally held a shawl pin. It is very small. I knit for an hour and a half each way. We passed some lovely [...]

I’m finally getting around to posting my lace-on-the-road post for the 4th of July weekend. Part of the problem was nagging getting my husband to give me the photo he took with his phone. It took a while. We drove to Chicago for the 4th of July and saw the in-law’s new townhouse, which also [...]
