Torin’s 24/7 challenge is making me think again about writing more haiku.  I wrote a mini zine during one of the local zine library’s annual 24 hour zine challenge that was all haiku.

I still have one hat, one scarf, one blanket and 1 necklace ongoing at the moment:)  There is at least one necklace, one button scarf and a few finger puppets that need sewing up or finishing off but the knitting part of each of those is finished.
