Tagged again….

I got tagged again, this time for 7 random things, and this time by A Knitting Knutty.

SHHHHH…don’t tell Madge or Mary

CPH has sleeves

Pattern: I can’t for the life of me remember where I saw the pattern, but it’s a simple 2X2 rib with a 1X1 cuff, bind off half the stitches at the heel, knit 2 rows, cast on the same [...]

Meme

I’m not normally one for memes, but I thought it’d be interesting to see what everyone has done or is planning to do, or simply have no intentions of doing.
Bold for stuff you’ve done, italics for stuff you plan to do one day, and normal for stuff you’re not planning on doing.
