About Mokihana

Born and raised Hawaiʻi girl who misses home and loves the Pacific Northwest. I’m a free spirit and love the serendipitous events that bring people and places together. My philosophy about knitting and life in general: “It is good to have an end to journey toward,but it is the journey that matters in the end.”Ursula K. Le Guin

Ouch! Enforced Rest.
