This is much better. I can’t decide if it looks like the violet I was going for or a butterfly.

Raggies 17 and 18.
The whole colorful gang.
I’m going to cast on for a sock tonight.
I’m not sure that my class is going to work out on Tuesdays. The professor has all group projects with a project due every week for the semester. He kept saying that he didn’t want to make extra work [...]
