Spending the week out in Lake Tahoe and it's been very very relaxing! I started this pair of socks the day before we left and finished them up 2 days later. Such a rewarding knit! I'm not a huge sock knitter. I just don't find them fun to make and when I put on a shoe while wearing them, I can …

Soggy.
The Twisted Yarn,

He also objected to the fact that I abbreviated him to SS in my hand-scrawled jottings for this post, which is fair enough because he really isn’t a Nazi.
