Sock progress

Friday, May 4, 2007

I knit more hours than I should have got more knitting time in than usual yesterday, and made tons of progress on my little sock. The ankle is a little loose. I don’t know if I like that, but since they’re anklets, does it really matter? I’ll wait to reserve judgment until it’s done. There’s […]

Beginnings

Thursday, May 3, 2007

I poked around the house the other night for a book to read. I ended up, with all things, with the next Inspector Gideon installment, Gideon’s Lot. Thank you, everyone, for your suggestions.
