In this episode: House projects have broken me; the summer of socks continues; the red that bled; Tour de Fleece; and a return to Clifford Byway.
The long shelf. I did it. Next time, I’m getting a little man in.
Zabava Socks – These fit very well, and work up quickly. The pattern is easy to follow and the results are moreish.

Why yes, I am making cushions as if I need them for the end times, thank you for asking.

If you really want a Spotify presence, maybe you could put the new episodes there, but not the old ones? Start the dryer so
