A creative buzz has been happening around here. Many of my projects are in the middle and it's driving me nuts that they're not all done. SO many ideas, so little time.

However, in the middle of the drawing, the dyeing, the knitting, I've been doing some reading. I was off of work during the holidays and started one of the saddest books of my reading history. Mary by Janis Cooke Newman is a page turner which leaves you disheartened but compelled to move forward, hoping to find that the woman's life contained any joy. Not much is known about Mary Todd Lincoln, save for the usual references to her insanity. This book has been an eye opener for me and my husband and I plan a trip to Springfield, IL this summer with our children to visit the Abraham Lincoln Museum.

Here is a recent finished object! This is a cabled wrap made from Hempathy by Elsebeth Lavold. It was an interesting yarn to work with and it has a beautiful drape.

Oh! Also, some exciting news! I've been asked to become a part of Necessitae which is a huge privilege, considering they have several immensely talented knitters already. I will begin stocking there on the 30th of January.
