To be honest I am not a snake person, never have been and probably never will be. Anytime I encounter one of these footless creatures I end up running away in fear. This irrational fear probably stems from my mom's fear of snakes that she has had since forever, so naturally this was passed down to me.

Knit Macbook Air Cover Pattern
It's November! The leaves have changed, the air is brisk, and it's time to pull out your sweaters that have been hiding away in the back of the closet.

Last week I posted about my Wine Bottle Sweater and thought why not make one for my laptop while ... Read More about Knit Macbook Air Cover Pattern
