We've had some lovely evenings this week ourselves, with time to sit on the couch and talk after the girls have gone to bed. That makes me happy :)<br /><br />(P.S. The pattern that I used shows up variously across the state, but the shape is very Owens Valley - related groups of people. I'll try to post a bit more detail on that this weekend with some pictures of caps.)Knitting Linguisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289230533275408343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-11374953809907020052011-03-09T18:42:45.561-08:002011-03-09T18:42:45.561-08:00Not small things - rather simple pleasures that le...Not small things - rather simple pleasures that lend large quantities of serenity to our days. :-) Sounds like a perfect start to the month.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-90542652307681783972011-03-09T13:30:01.007-08:002011-03-09T13:30:01.007-08:00A quirt house and time alone can be very productiv...A quirt house and time alone can be very productive!
