Big Digger Sweater
I finished this sweater about a month ago but I didn’t want to post it online until it was gifted. It turned out pretty great except there is one little twisted stitch right in the front, a couple rows below the digger’s tracks. Boo. I didn’t even see it until I [...]
Alice and I busted our butts baking today (say that five times really fast).
