by 123pizza on January 16, 2009

Recently Michaels had sock yarn on sale. Hubby has been wanting me to knit him some wool socks so I took the plunge, bought some yarn, and looked at patterns on Ravelry. I fell in love with the Lifestyle Toe Up Socks – No Swatch Needed. The instructions are EXCELLENT! I was able to figure [...]

by 123pizza on January 7, 2009

After living in this town for a little over six months it finally feels like home. This is where I live and I love it. Sure I miss my friends and I miss going to a church where I knew the majority of the people but man, this is home. This is where I want [...]
