It's time.

A sudden sickness/death in the family (My father in-law for those unaware), added several weeks to my already unusually long crocking hiatus. We spent most of December home in Philly. Crocking still managed to be a blip on my radar, though. I gifted one to my mother in-law (to replace the one she had that didn't have a "keep warm" setting *gasp!*) and one to my brother (because he's nearly 30 and didn't own one. *double gasp*) We have nearly no food in the house, so I crocked what we had that wasn't frozen or trying to...walk away.
