Something old Something new Something borrowed Something blue And a sixpence in her shoe Ok, so she's not wearing any shoes. But she does have a Sixpence Shawlette wrapped around her shoulders. This project was so much fun. The lovely bride was knitting up some
Can you believe that five songs have been sung? I can't, and I'm the one making them come to life! Today, I have for you the fifth song - Auber. I've been wanting to do something with a diamond motif ever since I started this project, and I finally got the diamonds in tune.
Deadlines do funny things to my head. When my brain is forced to come up with something, it decides to meander off and do other things. This is one of those other things. Another funny thing - I get my best pattern names from ...
