I love color…. It makes me happy, keeps me cheerful, feeds something important. Which is funny, when you consider that my wardrobe consists mainly of black, green, grey and more black. I like to gather color around myself like a blanket. I love the idea of turning these scrumptious little yarn cakes into comfort food [...]

The Callie Cardigan, henceforth known as the Thneed because it’s very Seussy, is soooo very close to completion. Just 3/4 of a sleeve and some buttons.
