» That’s a Lot of Sock Yarn!


I sit out on my porch a lot, especially when the weather is nice (and many times even when it’s not—one of the down-sides of being a smoker, though thankfully my porch is covered, so at least I don’t get wet when it rains). My co-worker, AK, knows this and gave me one of [...]
