Counting down …

I want to thank each and every one of you that have read this blog over the 31/2 years that I have been writing it. It has been an incredible journey and I have learned a lot – and that’s an understatement! I also want to apologize for the inconsistency I’ve shown in posting in the last 6 months, I am truly sorry. There is, however, a reason. Whether it’s a good one or not remains to be seen. When I first started this blog it was to allow it to evolve naturally, to go with the flow of […]

Bacon scarves and Christopher Walken …

It’s Calendar Time again …

It’s that time of year again! Seeing as the end of the world hasn’t yet started, I’m thinking it’s safe to say there will be a 2013. Yes, I know the year isn’t over yet, but seeing as I’ve heard dates ranging throughout the entire year as the end of the world, I’m going to take my chance! That being said, I’m putting the finishing touches on the next It Takes balls To Knit … Scarves Calendar for 2013! There are a few changes for the next calendar though. The biggest change will be that ALL the models will […]
