Finally a knitting post here on my knitting blog! I have a bit of progress to report on my two current projects.

I swear, one of these weeks I will get my act together in time to post one of these on Wednesday. Anyway. Progress on all three active projects!

So first I ordered what looked like a… Continue reading Back on Track
