Joining the Citron Masses
I cast on and have started Citron! So as of now I am one of 312 knitters on Ravelry who have started this project.

Woah There
A lot has happened since the Celtics game and I just haven’t been able to mentally catch up.
We had a lovely Thanksgiving and managed to see all the respective immediate families. Dinner was with mine and my sister managed to cook us a terrific meal. She really knows how to cook, and with Mom and I helping out I would say there couldn’t have been a better meal. (Also I really love my...
