I got my first taste of the Churchmouse brand while at a fiber festival a couple of years ago. Their knitting patterns are exquisite, and I fell in love with their style immediately. When we were planning our trip to Seattle, I just knew we needed to take a ferry ride over to Bainbridge Island to [...]

Off the Needles
I am woefully behind on sharing my most recent finished objects. You know they aren't really finished until someone wears or takes a photo of them, right?
