Back in May, it was potholders and hotpads all the time, as I worked feverishly to finish the set of five I needed for this swap. Even though I dithered about it at first, I couldn’t resist joining Hot Pads! And Potholders – The Swap. We had to crochet five potholders, and we could use any [...]

I managed to squeeze in some time to knit a few hats for k3tog’s Preemie Hat drive.

Posted by limedragon | Filed under decor, knitting
Six Sox KAL update: I finished the Sixth Sense socks this morning! I tried a couple of quick snapshots but they were terrible. I haven’t been having much luck with pictures lately… I’ll try again later today.
I’m not going to start a new pair of socks just yet. I do have the orange Madder Ribbed [...]
