Welcome to my knitting--no, fiber arts--no, artisan blog.

Meanwhile, the orange Dublin Bay socks are growing:

May is Orange Socks Month
Or something like that. I'm also hoping to finish the Asters sweater, the sideways socks, and some
jewelry. But for a start, I've picked up Conrad's orange Dublin Bay socks, which I started last year thinking they'd be for
