Socks!

By redstategreen • Mar 9th, 2010

Just wanted to share the socks I made for my husband during Ravelry’s Ravelympics challenge (which, of course, was during the Olympics):

If you have the means, please send money to a legitimate relief organization, preferably one that has a presence in Haiti already with people who speak the language. If not, please pray. They have a long road ahead of them. This is 9/11 on a national scale in terms of the destruction the earthquake has […]
