All’s Well

My poor victim contacted me this morning, as did her potential victim. The socks are in the mail. I’m still a terminal case, but I feel happier about it now that the system is working as it should. But then, I’m Roman Catholic, so you know, I like things to stick to their proper structure.

I reckon the Sock Of Doom will be about this… Continue reading Yarnsanity

Sock Wars Mobilization

Ooo, Ooo, I got my package from KnitPicks today: Bare DK for dyeing and two sets of their new Options interchangeable circular needles. I hadn’t noticed in the pictures that the cables and accessories are a fabulous purple colour. I was predisposed to love them before I ever tried them.
