I’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed by the number of projects that I have on the needles and that I have to finish patterns for. Since November seems to be the month of goals I’m going to try and finish everything that I’m currently working on within the month.

Firstly I need to finish the Apocalypse [...]

Last night my friend Azi came round for dinner. She arrived to find that I’d gotten distracted from cooking by attempting to put together a very makeshift curtain for the kitchen window. Admittedly it took more than the five minutes I was planning on but I’m rather pleased with the results. Quickly rolled up [...]

Elijah was sitting, minding his own business, when a mysterious light suddenly surrounded him. His position in its centre prevented him from noticing but the shape of the light seemed to suggest that they were looking just for him.
