Jelly Roll Fever
I contracted Jelly Roll fever in summer 2021. It took eight pairs of socks and a year of fun to beat my obsession with these cute little socks into remission. I still fear for the safety of my sock yarn stash. I may relapse at any time.

I’m Back! …But Why Did I Stop Blogging?
4 years ago I suddenly stopped blogging after 10 years of sharing my knitting exploits. I really hope I still have some followers out there! Long story, cut very short – I had a stroke – and that really messed up my knitting and ability to blog. The good news is I’m 95% recovered now […]

I would have, but I was terrified it was full of moth lavae. It went straight in the dustbin!
Its a real shame about your tumbling blocks cushion. The rest of it is still so pretty I'd be tempted…
The fronts look just fabulous, and the back calculations and planning are quite genius!
I am in awe of your skills Susan. Looking forward to seeing the finished mistresspiece. x
Oh my goodness!! What am amazing job on creating your own back design. I still haven't tried a steek yet…
