For the most part, I’ve stuck close to the scarf & hat route, because my attempts to make a light sweater have ended in sadness and frustration. There have been some other small objects that have been fun, but nothing all that impressive (although the beer coozies come in pretty handy)

Recently, some friends convinced me to try to make some socks. I was dubious, but decided to give it a shot. And now they are done. they are imperfect, a little loose, completely comfortable and I love them very much. And I know I’ll be wearing them for St. Patty’s day.
