Happy New Year! I dunno about you, but I'm so glad that 2017 is over. Good riddance to bad rubbish! That being said, let's review December 2017 real quick: I literally spent the month crocheting 12 socks (6 pairs) for a dear friend, and working at my new job (more on that in a minute). I had never made socks before, and it was a process. I used a D-hook for the first eight, and I regret it immensely. I moved up to an F-hook for the last four, and they went a bit faster. I was up until 2:30 am on Christmas Eve's Eve finishing them. The variegated pattern was unique on each one. I love that! Yarn birth: when your ball of yarn gives birth to smaller balls of yarn. Candy was by my side a lot of the time, and particularly liked this sock. Finally done. Obligatory artsy photo. I also finished the rest of the Pet Mugs, about which I will be blogging and making a video soon enough. I spent Fridays, Saturdays and some other weekdays in December at
