In shocking news, I completed my SIL’s 2017 birthday socks!
*unimpressed* -Chaos
And here are the socks, unobscured.
SOCKS! Chaos might not be impressed, but I am.
OMG, the blood… I can’t even imagine.
SOCKS! They look great!
I love the post with all the librarians. I’ll admit, I was hoping that Evelyn from The Mummy and Pratchett’s Librarian would be high up the list. 🙂
I’m glad the link to the history of the ampersand was useful! And hey! I know The Bold Knight (from the neon hunters link).
Yikes. Between Mira Grant’s murder mermaids and the link you posted about deadly sea creatures, I don’t think I’ll be going to the beach ever again. Ever. Again.
Enjoy seeing the Clinton ladies next week!
