This week's WIPs include sport weight Dias De los Muertos socks, the faux Duotone cowl and Seeta fingerless mitts. FOs include fingering weight Dias de los Muertos socks and the Chevron afghan. Lots of self-striping baubles and bling with some handmade socks by Wendy's mom. We introduced a new pattern by BostonJen of the Down Cellar Podcast. We have several drawings coming up next week so stay tuned!
