love, socks, and a snowball
The wedding shawl knitting is ongoing, of course, but I’ve just cast on a pair of socks for my first daughter, who lives in Texas.

Scared the living daylights out of me!
eating snow and knitting socks – a good day I don’t care who you are!
Finally, I finished the Hedera socks I’ve been knitting all month, just in time for the daughter to arrive home for spring break:
