I’ve never experienced more uses for the “finish” like I have as a crafter. Example 1. Me: It’s finished!!! Him: Are you going to wear it? Me: well, it’s not finished yet. See those ends hanging out? I still have to weave in all of the ends. Example 2.Me: It’s finished!!! Him: Even the ends?Continue reading “Weave It In Wednesday”

Introducing… Graffiti
Graffiti is the newest colorway to hit the agirlandherwool shop! It is a gray/black base with fun spots of colors.

Before making the decision to offer 50g skeins, I decided to think through what I would want to make with them and which patterns are out there that would be a good fit.

I just wasn’t a huge fan of it and knowing that the squares might not all align well was driving me crazy.

I started these socks earlier in the year for that very reason with plans to just leave them available forContinue reading “Gnome Zombie Socks”
