Whenever I travel (even if the destination of such travels is somewhere quite familiar, such as my parents house) I find myself buying yarn with the excuse that its "souvenir yarn." You...

It seems that I have done the same thing that I did last year, which is to blog through perhaps the first week of classes and then take a hiatus for the rest of the first semester. Grad school,...
Warning: I drop the F-bomb in this post. I have a morning routine. You see, Im not what you might call a "morning person." I set my alarm to go off earlier than necessary in...
