Irish sock
I have long-admired the Three Irish Girls yarns, but this is the first time I’ve actually knit with some. It’s lovely! This colorway is called Father Time, and it pools in a spiral around the sock, which is very fun … Continue reading

I’m on a hat roll. Clockwise, starting from the top: No-Swatch Top-Down hat, knit to be slightly slouchy, in scrap balls of Cascade 220 and another wool for which I do not have the label; another No-Swatch Top-Down hat, in … Continue reading
