Happy Birthday!
Today (well…yesterday, I'm running late…again) was Elaine's birthday.
Continuing a tradition….I knit her a sock
Just one. Her feet are significantly smaller than mine, so I can't test the fit by tugging the sock-in-progress over my own foot without stretching it out of shape. (I also have to resurrect . . . → Read More: Happy Birthday!
