In addition to my sponsorships, part of my entry fee to Knit Michigan consists of a chemo cap. So, yesterday at three in the afternoon, I shopped my stash. Buried in the back was a wonderful yarn that reminded me of the Caribbean islands.

Several months ago I purchased some yarn.  I know, I know, I’m stating the obvious.  Yarn that was meant for Lady Eleanor of Scarf Style.  It has been knit by many all over blogland.  I wanted to be one of those people, desperately!  But first I had to knit my ABC’s, then a last minute christmas knit, […]
