Ridiculous Glubs

2008-07-05T10:09:22Z

So I'm making these typing glubs for Bash, and I'm sure you'll agree, they've gotten a bit ridiculous. On the other hand, the pattern (which is can be found for free here) says it's for two circular needles, but can be knit with DPNs. This pho...

So, what am I doing here?

I thought a blog would be a cool place to display my crafty gubbins, give links to free patterns where possible and generally keep track of my progress! I guess it also means that my friends and some random strangers can check out what I'm making...
