corn socks

Knitting Notes

My mother’s socks are done! My holiday knitting is done (and I managed to do it before Christmas Eve)! I now have nothing on my needles, which feels a little weird, but I broke down and put in a Knitpicks order yesterday, so I’ll soon have all I need for several projects. Yay!

Knitting Notes

first socks

Craft Notes

I forgot to mention it a couple days ago when I completed them but, I have socks! The second one came out slightly large than the other. (I’m apparently starting to relax out of the beginning knitter’s propensity to knit tightly. Wish that hadn’t happened mid project, but that’s ok.) I also need to find
