My first sock is done!

Ah, my first sock is done. It’s a bit too short because I got too impatient while doing the cuff, even though it’s supposed to be an ankle-length sock. It’s far from perfect, but it went better than the last time I tried to knit a sock. I really like this Sockotta [...]

The BF made Crepes

The BF made savory crepes last night for dinner. The filling was made of cremini mushrooms and walnuts in a vegan cream sauce and the sauce outside was a mix of tomato sauce of the vegan cream sauce.

The BF made cinnamon buns with real cinnamon.

Carson Velodrome

I went to the velodrome in Carson today to watch some bicycle races. It was sad that there weren’t that many spectators. The center of the velodrome also had some girls volleyball tournament going on. The spectators of both sports added up still didn’t fill 1/3 of the seats in the center.
The rules [...]

My First Toe-up Sock
