I’ve been extra busy at work for the past month or so on a really big project — and, as you know, our bathroom is undergoing a big transformation… In my knitting, I’m finding myself drawn to a series of small things.

Has it really only been one year? Has it been a whole year already?

Those are the two thoughts that ran alternately through my mind all weekend. It’s been such a wonderful year, I can’t wait to see what the next one brings. Happy anniversary, Kate!
