This Week's Stashy Goodness!!!

nobody@vox.com(Toni) — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 14:55:11 +0000

nobody@vox.com(Mari) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:15:55 +0000

I can't believe it's been over a month since I updated this blog. I've been busy. See the pictures? The bobble stitch sampler top needs assembly and some relatively minor finishing work, like adding the neck and sleeve borders. The Crystal P...

I decided a few weeks ago to take on the challenge of designing my own socks. I knew I wanted them to be simple with a pattern you could have memorized almost immediately. The socks needed to show off the wonderful colors of the Cashmino from Soc...
