It seems like many people just aren’t practicing the parts…everyone is surely in “semester break mode” this time of year, myself included!

Here is the second pair of Baby Socks that I finished yesterday. The colors aren’t my favorite…a little too much “camping” color, but they’re cute all the same. I decided to make a bigger pair for when the baby is older, but it took way too long! Well, not as long as a normal size [...]
