Sock Yarn Knit Scarf

Sock Yarn Scarf Whenever I head out of town, I make it a point to find a local yarn shop wherever I’m vacationing. It’s a given that if I find a yarn store, I’ll grab a skein of sock yarn. I almost always have a sock on the sticks so fingering weight yarn will never […]

Monday Mini Project: DIY Calendar Journal

Journaling is something I’ve tried off and on for years. Several issues have kept me from making journaling a habit.
