Sweaters and Hockey

Got to see a very exciting playoff hockey game on Sunday. It was between the AHL Philadelphia Phantoms and the Providence Bruins.

Progress and Presents

lucky front Originally uploaded by neoknits. Yay! Finished right front of Lucky tonight. Moving along quickly, though I’m going to be sad when I’m no longer knitting with my cashmere. Hopefully I don’t get too attached, I really don’t have enough time to get a 2nd job to support my cashmere dependence! And speaking of [...]
