While I haven’t had time to cast-on many new projects lately, I finally managed to squeeze in the Loops 202 class I’d been looking forward to since completing the first class […]

If there has ever been a month that challenged my sanity, this October has been it for sure. So, without further ado…. My second sanity-saving tip is creating a monthly menu rotation.
