Story: Eating lunch with a group of people last fall, I was knitting– Joe complimented me on the socks I was working on, and then proposed a trade– if I made him a pair of socks, he’d make me a couple of mugs. I agreed. Started a pair for him– but ended up giving them to Zac for Christmas– and thus have only just finished these now.

Pattern: none at all
Needles: sz. 3 addi turbos
Yarn: Elann Silken Kydd (if yarns had stripper names, this would be one of them)
Story: A couple of years ago, I started a double-stranded mohair sweater, ice blue, covered in tiny cables. I don’t know why I ever thought it was a good idea. The sweater lived in a box until today– when it was cast off, ends sewn in, and dubbed a neckwarmer (all it needs is some kind of a pin). I think I’ll like it.
