Do you know that feeling…
… When you’re too sick to knit? I’ve been feeling like that since Monday. But I’m starting to really miss knitting and I guess that’s a good sign.
A journey of a thousand miles…
… begins with a single step. I guess that is also true for a journey of finishing a thousand WIPS, so I found it only fitting to finish my socks first. The other pair of socks has been frogged. I obviously need even bigger needles when knitting socks in the Portuguese way. So, I got …
