Doctor Who Sock Yarn

Fact: I love sock yarn. Problem: I don’t know how to knit socks. I bought two skeins of KnitPick’s Felici sockyarn in Time Traveler. Why? Because it self- stripes into the colors of the Fourth Doctor’s (Tom Baker) scarf! I couldn’t resist. I guess I am going to learn to knit socks. In theory, I […]
