In my last post, I complained a little bit that it didn’t look like there were going to be any Shark Week sock kits coming out of Jimmy Beans this year. Well, right after I published it, I decided to Google around a bit and see if anyone else was doing a shark week sock… Continue reading Shark Sock News
I got some real progress in on my intarsia-in-the-round socks this past weekend, and actually finished the intarsia part of one sock. I also got to have some charting fun!
