Danish Tie Shawl

Finally a finished project.

So part two of the trip continues, after a lovely visit at the yarn shop we made our way for lunch to my cousins house to visit with her son, husband and father (my uncle).  I have to say I love knitting for her because she loves getting my knits.  When she receives something - [...]

Focused

So today was kinda a blah day.  You know the type where the pajamas don’t come off all day and you just kinda sit around napping, well that was today.  I did get down to business though and finished up my Silly Swap Socks.
These are made with Mountain Colors in the Emerald Colorway.  The pattern [...]
