I have been debating this for quite some time and I am still not sure what to do. Here are my options. To make a pair of high-waisted pants or the Beignet skirt. The black linen that I have in my stash is enough to make either or, not both, sadly. This is why I [...]

Today I got a package from my mom containing a lot of my knitting needles and yarn. They have been at her house for a while and I decided I wanted to have them back so I didn’t have to go out and buy new needles. I had forgotten what I had! It felt like [...]
