Oh, for the love of this warm little corner, and that mighty woodstove. When installing our stove last year, I originally thought we'd replace the existing tile with something we like a lot more this summer. But those plans were usurped by woodsheds and gardens and babies and oh, a whole list ...

Oh, that stripey shrug is lovely. I think I'd like one for me! I'm test-knitting a little cardi pattern that will be my oldest daughter's First Communion sweater!
