The Red Edge is complete!

My Summer(s) of Socks

2022: Ipomoea, Lunaria and the gradient-dyed pair of Syncopation socks that set Jeny Staiman on a path towards Polar Arc.

2023: Weekend Shorties, and Pan.

2024 Plans: Weekend Shorties redux, Footprint, Zabava, plus August Argyle's, once I have learned intarsia in the round. I have tons of sock leftovers (courtesy of my KBFF) and I'm having a blast playing with all the colours.
