I've gone cuff crazy, because at this point that is all I have the patience for. I have a problem with immediate gratification.

This was done using Blue Sky Alpacas. So soft and lovely.

I am currently also working on: Brian's gigantic camouflage blanket, a sampler cuff for Anthony, fingerless gloves, a shrug/stole thingy...
