week 4: no reading Well, hell you may as well say no breathing…!

Going on the Colinette yarn frenzy last year was fun, but is taken me until now to make any headway into the yarn we bought! This cardi is in Colinette Prism in Mint Chocolate – it does have a more brown hue than in these purple-y photos but not that much more… I am always ...
