A little while ago, I wrote about my Halloween yarn countdown sets and showed off the first mini of set #1.

Got a little more progress in on my SIL’s Soft Pretzel sock – not a lot, but some. I plan on focusing on these this week and see how far I can get before the next Sock It To Me Monday!

This evening I wound up doing a little stash… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday
Dolores has been showing her sensitive side lately, sighing over the autumn leaves and contemplating other weighty matters. Like when her next outfit will be ready already! I got it started this weekend, and have been alternating working on it with working on my SIL’s Soft Pretzel socks. Hopefully it will be done in a… Continue reading Dolores:Autumn Reverie
