Mesmerized
Reference Well, another two weeks and time for another update. Besides the club sock, I still have the heel experiment going on. This time, rather than lining all of the increases up along the center, I am making the increases diverge from the center, forming a “V” at the bottom of the foot. I am…

Reference Sorry I have been away so long, but at least I am still keeping to the schedule I set out when I initially started this blog, once every two weeks. The reason why there haven’t been a lot of posts is because I have mostly been working on the winter sock for the sock…

It Wasn’t Me
Reference Well, I got some good news last week. The investigations into the accident are over, and everything came out in my favor. While I never doubted that I was not at fault in the accident, things don’t always come out the way they are supposed to. Fortunately, they did in this case. In more…
