So, I figured that I would flash some of the Duet and other yarns that I got whilst in Seattle in a pathetic attempt to distract you from the fact that I still haven’t taken any photos of the car. See, TG has taken the car and parked it in the garage. Turns [...]

Dear Sock, I Hate You

OK, so I have somewhat of a dilemma. I hate this sock. I love the color. I hate the pattern. I have a problem. The problem is that this sock is the the fifth and final Ravelympics project. What is a girl to do? I want Monkey socks. Deliciously ugly/cute Monkey socks out of Zen [...]
