Pop Top Hat

I underestimated my … Continue reading Pop Top Hat

Raglan Cardigan
A while back I was at a LYS and fell in love with Plymouth Yarn Encore Dynamo color 041. A combination of grays, oranges and greens. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I love it.

I learned quite a bit and they have made good "wear around the house instead of slippers" socks. Next … Continue reading Socks
