10 things i need less of (& a bonus 10 things i need more of)

newest pair of socks. snake river socks (doing mine two at a time on one circular needle). i knit from the inside and outside of the yarn 'cake'.

my attempt with the turpentine papers. from these directions, i also smooshed with a gloved hand the paper - meaning i scrubbed the surface, because without doing that, the page did nothing interesting. they are still drying, i'll post photos of both the interesting and the boring later.
