All that wood chopping does one good, and saves the gym fee too!

Merry Christmas right back at you!

I especially enjoyed the knit work - beautiful pieces. I did a couple of pairs of fingerless gloves last year and just learned to cable last month so I'll have to try a cabled pair for DD (cyclist).
