.: Various and Sundry :.

October 3, 2008

I finished the left spirogyra, haven’t blocked it yet (have a pile of that to do) but the knitting part is finished ^_^ Beware my dragon claws, grrrr. I lurve this pattern with a capital lurve. It was really fast to knit, the spiraling pattern was very addictive, and it’s surprisingly warm and comfortable to [...]
