Socks and Alpacas

Thanks so much for all the comments on my August progress and September goals. I have to admit, though, I’m a bit nervous about my goals now since everyone seems to think I’m taking on too much. Eep!  Happily, I have already accomplished one of them: These are my Rosebud Socks from Wendy D. Johnson’s [...]

I’m on a bit of a completionist kick right now. Not only have a managed to get my hands on very nearly ever TW design I’d like to have, but I’ve also managed to complete my DMC collection. Thanks to a full Mary Maxim frequent buyer card, the last few (75…) skeins were very nearly [...]

Foot Coverings
