Look! Visual proof that I (very occasionally) do more than just sit on my ass, watch TV, and surf the internet.
It’s a start to a pair of socks. Socks that may or may not be completed in my lifetime. My track record in finishing any fiber related project is pretty poor at the moment. Especially [...]
This morning, in an effort to forget about school, money, and trying to find a job, I spent a few hours turning some of this
