This was the week of signing up for everything. I'm doing the Iris Mystery Shawl, Tour de Fleece, and the 52 Pair Plunge, which includes 2 different socks for the Sock Knitter's Anonymous group. I only have 2 measly finished objects, but there will be many more next time since I have about a zillion works in progress. I also have a couple of podcast recommendations.
