Stashbuster Top-Down Raglan:

Passed a major milestone this week- finished the raglan shaping and put the sleeve stitches on hold.

Spinning:

Sadie came to us from the Whatcom Humane Society, in Bellingham, WA.

She’s a sweet, happy girl who loves to pose for photos (yea!)

But she is such a love.

A big, squishy, golden love.

Wally is a little jealous (he’s been getting crazy amounts of attention as an only dog),

but he’ll get over it.

And Boo Kitten has gone into seclusion to contemplate the implications of this development.
