Long time no write. That seems to be the norm on this blog! Sorry about that.
1. Magic Strip Socks are Finished! I truly mucked up the first toe as I did the knitted Kitchener stitch. I took me an hour and a half to fix it. Thankfully second toe only took about 20 minutes to [...]

At long last, after many MANY restarts, the Tammy scarf is done!
(Okay, this isn’t really my first FO, but it is the first since I started knitting again. That makes it my first FO in 20 years or so– after that long a break, wouldn’t I be considered a knitting virgin again?)
