I have been chugging right along on the stripe-y socks. I have to admit, I was really, truly surprised at just how much yarndage is contained in one little skein of Lorna’s Laces sock. I started a pair of size 6 socks in the last few days left in December and this is how far [...]

Well, I haven’t made much progress on the stripe-y socks because I cast on for something new. This is the start of a pair of Picky Pants by Little Turtle Knits. I must say, this is one of the most well written and thought out patterns that I have ever had the joy of working [...]
