So I’ve back from a week in the Bay Area of California. My sister moved up there from LA last Spring, and a bunch of us decided to join her for Christmas. (A good thing too, as they’re not terribly fond of the place, and are seriously thinking about move back to LA.) There will

For a slightly brainless project, I’ve cast on a Honey Cowl for myself, in one of my Sundara yarns that I’ve been just looking at for a while now because I really love the colors. I decided I really should try to make them into something that other people can see as well. (This one

Well, it’s time for my annual read the newest (to me) Hunger Games book at the same time as the movie comes out so I’m not spoiled by something random on Pinterest. (Seriously, the Geek feed in Pinterest has the most randomly spoilerific things if you’re not caught up on various fandoms. But I digress.)
