Be Good Johnny
Reference I have been a good boy lately. (I am strictly talking about being a good knitting boy here. I know it doesn’t seem like I have been much of a good boy if you are judging by the frequency that I update this blog and comment on other blogs. After staring at computers all day for…

Let’s Talk About Sex
I mean socks! Yes, socks! Let’s talk about socks. Definitely socks! Reference For the past few years, I have been mainly doing socks.
