Of course, lots of Life and Stuff is still happening both within my immediate circle and the greater beyond. We miss Shadow every single day.

Black cat sitting on person's lap on a grey fleece blanket. On the cat's back is a crochet project in progress.

At the first hints of spring, I struggle to focus on my knitting and crochet projects. It's not that I want to abandon my needles and hooks, no — I want to work on everything!
