Alas, I cannot find the picture I took of my full Fair Isle sweater I made a few years ago. I’m not talking just a few stripes of color, I’m talking every flippin’ row. Based on the Philosopher’s Wool technique and book, with a twist of yoke along with sewing, cutting and banding [...]

As I type, I am cooking up the asian pears that my lovely ex gave to us. The kids are not eating them fast enough, so after a solid hour of garden work this evening, I came in the house to get some pearsauce made.
