March finished in the Secret-Stash-Busting sock along, just waiting till I get my new blockers...lol.
No pattern used. I just added a few cables.
Yarn is Wollbiene - Crazy Cotton, these will be bed socks for winter. Never used it before, not sure I like it.

This article has it all wrong.

What Etsy did was break its own model to allow numerous "shops" selling the same factory made crap onto a site that was supposed to be only for artisans & hand-crafted items. Why? Greed. More "stuff," more clicks, they thought.
And many artisans and a lot of customers voted with their...keyboards, and went elsewhere.
BTW: One alternative is the Artisans Cooperative: https://artisans.coop/
Almost forgot today’s #wipwednesday post of the COUS!
Great weather today, so I spent some time outside tidying up the garden and putting a few solar path lights in, haven’t done any stitching today.
Anyway…the Cross stitch Of Unusual Size. I moved the hoop after this photo, to work on the next section.

Rejigging the neck of my version of the #ReignbeauxSweater. I made it a while ago but was never happy with the neckline. When a hole appeared at the back of the neck, I took it as a sign to just redo it!
