D. Weasley Sweater
Olympic Progress and February Socks
I’m up to the neck in the D. Weasley sweater. No, really. I’m up to where I put the bottom of the neck stitches on a holder and work up to the shoulders along the side of the neck. Then it’s sleeves, neck trim and some stitching together. Do you think I’ll make it? p=.…
