Of War and Sockdeath
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitalongs, knitting, socks
During the past few weeks, I’ve been participating in Sock Wars 2006. It’s a tourney or assassin-style knitalong where each socknitter is assigned a target.

Posted by limedragon | Filed under secret pals or swaps, yarn stash
This post is long overdue! (Oh, the guilt!) I participated in both Secret Pal 8 and the One Skein Secret Pals Exchange this past summer. I had long enjoyed reading about other people’s experiences in the SP exchanges, and forced myself to start my blog earlier this year so I would be eligible for SP8. [...]
