Seeded rib-stitch hat and scarf Pom Pom Maker Pom pom haircut

Millford

Yesterday was Drake's birthday! We keep birthdays kind of low key, but we did enjoy a nice evening of Brahms at the symphony. When we got home, I gave him the secret knitting I've been working on for him - a Debbie Bliss Millford. He had admired t...
