KnitterlyNotions

I've managed to finish a few things lately. It's helped that I've been the passenger in Allen's pickup truck instead of being the driver in our (permanently broken down) van.

I made it smaller, as I was using only one ball of Brown Sheep Burly Spun yarn. It's nice and soft and cozy.
