2008: celebration of socks

11 pair of socks in 2008! Hee! I only managed 2 in 2007! 9 for me, 2 for others. Not bad at all, especially when you consider how much of my time I spent spinning this year!

concealed wraps -- who the hell cares?

I'm turning a heel from Cat Bordhi's Big Book o'Insanity, and I had a revelation. I don't give a damn about concealing the wraps. It's an annoying, fiddly, time-consuming chore and I'm not doing it anymore.
