The wrap is almost done or That’s one big banana
Estimated reading time: 2 minutes The wrap is growing really well, and I’ve gone so far as to temporarily abandon all of my other projects in an attempt to rid myself of this one. Except, of course, for the damn ends. Those will be with me for a while. I’m…

The deconstructed banana colored shawl
Estimated reading time: 4 minutes In a move that surprised literally everyone, my uncle passed away recently. He lived his life up until the last conscious second, which is the best any of us can hope for. Needless to say, my aunt and two cousins (I have nine total cousins.…
