Sometimes, my mind drifts to random yarns in my stash. Yarns that don’t have specific projects assigned to them yet for various reasons. sometimes you get a brainwave for a project, and sometimes you start obsessively thinking about them until they DO have purpose. This time, it was the Stitch and Story Cotton Braid yarn.… Continue reading [WIP] Cotton Braid Bralette

[Chatter] Staying Until it’s Over
It's almost April, somehow. This year feels surreal, but for all the wrong reasons. In the words of my university, the current situation is dynamic and rapidly changing. The current government advice is to travel home, however, after much discussion with friends and family, I am staying in Seoul for the time being, at least until… Continue reading [Chatter] Staying Until it’s Over
