  • Newspaper article

    Hmm. I gave an interview to a journalist about the resurgence in crochet a week or two again, and apparently it was published in one of the weekend papers. I haven’t been able to find it online. Anybody seen it?

  • Small world

    Small world. The Snook and I headed over to Tempe tonight to the German Club to bid farewell to two friends leaving for a long European bike tour. Imagine my surprise when I recognized a fellow MeFite amongst the party! Turns out he’s the brother of one of our friends. It was really amusing trying…
