I just cleaned up my Ravelry queue. From 17 pages to 12. I do this from time to time, more or less rigorously, and it always feels great. Ahh. Its also nice to rediscover all those projects I forgot ...
The first FO of the year is a pair of woolen pants size baby:Ive agreed with DH and the little one kicking about inside that boys can easily wear brick-coloured pants. They are more orange and less p...
