Rejuvenated
I think Ross detected a stressed out Mommy yesterday from the moment he walked in. He sent me to my room… with my knitting, laptop, snacks, and water. He warmed up leftover pizza for dinner.

I decided to make use of some yarn that just wouldn’t behave as socks. It is a cashmere blend dyed in shades of red, orange and turquoise. The colors reminded me of SparkPeople. (The cast-on corner is mos accurate to actual color.) I could tell it would stretch and...
