Progress & Pie

A week of finishing…

Busy week! Lots of non-knitting work happened….real life sometimes gets in the way. Lots of knitting happened. Two finished objects, progress on finishing an object and knitting, knitting, knitting! These two ear warmers were finished for my best man! He loves them and wore the gray one today. My Sandhurst sweater has been almost done […]
