Posted on October 2, 2009 by HappyGoth

I know

Posted on July 24, 2009 by HappyGoth

The choli vexes me

Posted on July 13, 2009 by HappyGoth

First, though, I got a lot done this weekend. I finished one of the Rivendell socks (it’s a little short, but not wholly uncomfortable), plied my first singles (woohoo!) and then sewed up the ghagra and patka for my garb. … Continue reading →

Kolhapuri

Posted on June 24, 2009 by HappyGoth
