True to form, I immediately cast on a new pair of socks as soon as I had a free needle. I’ve had this yarn in my stash for quite some time but the spring weather has finally inspired me to bust it out into the fresh air. I have to say that I am very [...]

So far this year, in just January and February, I have managed to finish six pairs of socks…albeit *baby* socks.
