I have many things to share, but I think I will blog them in separate posts in a vain attempt to remain comprehensible. So, today we have some fire. The knitting fire wasn’t the fire I had planned at all for Lolly’s Project Spectrum: The

January Socks: Finished (in January, really!)

I did finish the Chili Pepper socks in January. 11:25 p.m. on January 31st to be exact. I told M I just couldn’t screw up the Sock Pair a Month in 2008 (started by Kelly of Kelp! Knits) in the first month. So, he left
