I still think self striping sock yarns are pretty nifty. You know what would be really cool though? Self ribbing sock yarns. Think about it yarn manufacturers, some one could corner the market on that one. If my yarn ribbed itself I would be on cloud nine. I am pretty happy with the easter egg [...]
My kung fu is strong
Extra geek points all around for anyone that knows what movie I’m referencing in the title. A perfect geek score of 10 will get you the love and admiration of my imaginary friends.
