Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting

During Grandma’s recent visit, I showed her a couple of books filled with Christmas Stocking designs. I told her to pick a couple that she liked, and that I would make her one for the coming holiday.

Have you seen my sock mojo?

Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting

I mostly made my holiday knitting deadline. Except for two pairs of socks. I just couldn’t get motivated to work on them. I started one, and the cuff was way too bag, and I felt the weight of the dreaded sock curse creeping upon me.

I feel I can’t start any new projects until I get [...]

Do you use 43 Things? It’s a website where you can put in your life goals. I noticed they had a personality quiz, so I tried it. I’m a bit surprised by the results.

Tweaking

Posted by limedragon | Filed under general
