OK, please be honest. Am I the only knitter (AKA: stasher) who takes preventative anti-moth measures?
What you’re looking at are three skeins of Peace Fleece, which I bought at Eco-Green, a local shop that specializes in organic, green, fair-trade products.

Orchid Socks: Finis!

I cast off on Sunday, and blocked them to make sewing the picot edge at the top a bit easier. Trying to wrestle a rolling edge into a nice, neat hem is a real pain. Sewing will probably happen today, but in my book this is now a finished project!Pattern: Orchid Socks AKA Simply Lovely [...]
