the big floppy hat

YES !!! just add the big floppy hat to my list of must have accessories for the summer. how very southern belle of me to wear it to brunch....

short row short socks

knitting has brought some really fabulous people into my life and for that I am really thankful. I am also thankful that I have completed my first sock using short rows for the heel (instead of that pesky heel flap that can sometimes be entirely too fussy and bulky). and I have also decided that since I am an instant gratification type of girl that I should only knit socks and hats since i sometimes can't be bothered with sleeves and other such nonsense...
