I'm Stephanie. I like to knit, write letters and poems, read (novels and blogs!), and stress out to the max. ;) At Sunbeam Soapbox I write about the knitting, letters, and whichever thoughts I want to share with the world. I also like new friends! Feel free to drop me an e-mail anytime using the contact form.

This:
otherwise known as this:
Is making me think woolly thoughts. Hey, maybe I’ll even start to knit again. And write here! Wouldn’t that be something? Anyway, I could really use some new mittens, for when it gets truly cold.
Right now though, I could use a good snowball fight more than a good sweater… It’s not too [...]
