That's Just Pants!
Knitted pants you say? If someone had suggested this for me some years back, I think I would have laughed so hard my coffee would have splurged out my nose.

Just one skein...
The G-uld No.4 Minis keep calling to me every time I walk past them in the shop. The colours are just so lovely and the Merino/Gotland blend base is beautiful.

Virtual Knit Night September 16th
As many of you know, I was finally able to travel back home to see my friends and family for the first time in what feels like forever, and I am currently in Norway. What can I say, it is definitely very emotional and feels quite strange to have travelled such a distance, so to be completely honest, other than...
