Kokomo

Easy Come, Easy Go
Reference With finishing up the one pair of socks, it was time to cast on another project. Since a friend of mine gave birth to a son earlier in the year, and I hadn’t completed anything for said child yet; I decided that I needed to knit up something for the boy. (I did have…

Margaritaville
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…
