For the moment, I have decided that DH’s slippers will be the weeknight project, because short bursts of knitting time will work fine for them, Twinkle is the workday lunch project for similar reasons, and Glenesk… Continue reading Twinkle and Glenesk
Time for the midweek WIP report! First, the semi-success. I finished the back of my colorwork top of many previous posts fame, and got started on the front!
