1 Finished Two Tone Throw for Uncle Mark
Short post tonight. I am knackered beyond measure but my mind won’t shut up. I finished tbe Two Tone Throw for Uncle Mark, wove in all the ends, and now have to wait to.fkgire out what my next project will be. Most likely is the Red Room Throw for Llama’s partner, Micah. Beyond that, I want to work on Jae’s black and white blanket that’s the same pattern as Uncle Mark’s.
I am going to bed in self defense.
Take your meds, folks.
