That title makes it sound like I’ve got millions! And honestly, by other knitters standards I only have a couple which haven’t been gifted to anyone yet (they do make awesome gifts). I only asked the question because a non-knitting friend called into question my sanity not too long ago. Let me set the scene…… Continue reading How many socks are too many?

So I believe I promised you a little tour of one of my new favourite spaces. My new and shiny sewing room!!
