I love to knit. It’s one of my passions. My favorite knitting (and photography) blog is Lolly Knitting Around. I’ve been wanting to knit her Perseverance shawl since she released the pattern but hadn’t found the yarn I wanted to use.

As the recipient of this wonderful pair of handmade, wool socks I just want to say how grateful I am for all the effort that was put into them. I couldn’t do it all on my own, so I would like to thank my Lovely Wife for picking out the pattern and doing something or [...]
