It's Not a Lost Cause ...

... I have some remnants of talent. A cellphone case I made over commute and lunch hour -

Admit it, its rather shady, innit? Oh, well, I picked up the crochet needle after a 7 year sabbatical. So, I guess I can be excused.

I wont go into mine, because I think anybody who reads my older posts can pretty much get a sense of it. In fact, someone had written my thoughts better than I h...
