Packing
You live in a place for a long time, and you forget how much stuff you accumulate. We’ve been in this current apartment almost 9 years. We moved in shortly after we got married. We had nothing when we moved in. Some clothes and some books, and a couple of pots [...]

A fish tale
About a month ago, my mom asked for my help in finding a pattern. She gave me almost no information to work with, so I went to the all knowing Knittyboard and asked for help. The pattern in question was by an Aussie, and in a mag sometime in the late 80’s. [...]
