Only the first post is posted so far (which explains what Ravelympics is), and I’m reminding myself that there’s plenty of time to take and post the photos but […]

So the other day, I log into Ravelry and find a fun message from a nice lady named Beth.

The first one I’ve had in a while.
I’ve noticed lately that the smell from the rancid carpet left behind by the slumlord underneath the topmost layer of carpet has dissipated enough that I don’t notice it when I walk in.

As I mentioned sometime ago in a post (as in more than a year ago), I’d gotten back into crocheting because of the dogs. Weston with his nakedness really needs sweaters plus Captain likes them too (and so did Almond - miss you girl). I officially started in summer 2004 while in PA when I […]
