Chit Chat

• Vacation! Walt Disney World was a blast!  We had so much fun.  They make everything so easy. 
• Kittens! Merry and Pippen.  They have taken over the house. Adopted from FurKids. Highly recommened.  They were wonderful.
• Husband travel and work and taking care of kittens kept me on my toes and not knitting as much and having little time to record.

Knit Chat

• FO – Mitered Hanging Towel by Cristina Bernardi Shiffman
