Hi, folks!
Please excuse my absence. Both my mom AND my step-dad have been suffering from heart disease, with various operations and “procedures” happening during the past few weeks.
Thus my lack of writing.
At this moment, I am far away from home, in Sacramento, Calif., helping them out at home, going to doctor’s appointments, and [...]

OK, you just have to see this gorgeous hank of Neighborhood Fiber Company yarn that Karida delivered a week ago…I can’t get enough of these colors: It’s named “Brookland.” Teal-green and purple sock yarn–lovely, stretchy, puffy superwash merino sock yarn! (Yes, it’s Gems Fingering, my utter favorite.) Thanks, Karida!

Orchid Socks: Finis!
