A continuation from Part I – some of my favorite self striping sock yarns The last two of my favorite self-stripers hold their own with creative color combos that always look good to me. Sknitches Photo courtesy of flickr user Wannabeknittin’ Take sknitches for example. Yes, I am clearly a …
It seems like it has been a long time since I even showed you any knitting. But I am working on a few projects. My Central Park Hoodie has a completed back, and I am working on one of the front pieces. I accepted the fact that I am not …
