Busy, Busy, Busy

I was unable to get a good picture since I was in a hurry but the Cascade Fixation Tank is finished. As a present to myself on Mother's Day, I wore it to church, under my suit coat.


I'll try to post a better photo another day when I have someone to take a good photo or when there is more natural light available.

Meanwhile...

I ripped the Hurricane Sock beginnings and restarted...about ten or more times. I finally have something workable.


If I can find some time in this crazy life of mine to actually accomplish some knitting, I'll soon have a progress shot worth seeing.
