I think scarves make wonderful gifts; not only as a matter of personal preference, they often prove to be useful in the coming cold months. This year I made two, one of which is incredibly impractical, and one that turned out surprisingly nicely. Both are very simple, particularly as I have an irrational fear of…

Yes, it’s that time of year again. The time where malls are crazy, radio stations play Christmas music incessantly and bratty children can be heard begging for toys from miles away. This may seem like a cynical way to look at the most marketed holiday known to the western world, but don’t get me wrong, I’m…
