Pictures Off the Deck
July 12, 2010On to the Next Pair
July 9, 2010
This pattern is Tatami from Knitted Socks East and West using Panda Cotton in Telips. The picture doesn’t show the pretty colors very well. I’ll try to do better next time. I could not get gauge so I just changed the number of stitches and went on. As of this morning, I have finished the heel and about one inch into the foot. Now, I’m hoping that I have enough yarn. I probably should have started at the toes. I must have some excitement in my life. When these are finished, I’ll have made nine pairs of socks this year with only three pair to go.

How do they look against my entrelac blanket?
All is Forgiven
July 6, 2010
This morning, she talked to Skunky and carried him around the house. When it was time for ‘cafe au lait’ (minus the cafe), she brought him in to have some.
I have got about six rows of squares to go on the second sock. I want to go on t o something else. It’s too hot to do anything big, so I’m thinking gloves.
Skunky was Lost
July 5, 2010
Flo spent a lot of time looking for him. She even asked us to look, but we didn’t have any luck either. And, then, when Doug was getting out his good shoes, there was Skunky, sleeping in his shoes. He showed Skunky to Flo. Was she happy? No. She is mad at Skunky for hiding. Poor Skunky. He is just laying there in the hallway.
Yesterday
July 3, 2010I went out “yarn hopping” with some friends and didn’t get home until evening. I bought some Claudia fingering in watermelon. It should make pretty socks. Or gloves. Or hat. I don’t know. It was pretty. I need yarn like a hole in my head. But, it’s not my fault. My friends made me do it.
Beautiful Day
July 1, 2010When I got up this morning and opened the back door for Flo, I was hit with a marvelously cool breeze. I made myself a cup of coffee and went to worry Doug out of bed while I dressed. We walked around the horse farm without sweating from every single pore. It was so beautiful sitting out on the pier over the Nanticoke. When we got home, I took my breakfast out to the deck and watched the ducks. I had al ready opened all the doors and windows to air out the house. The girls also love the cooler weather. They played tag for hours and were in early to sleep. It is getting down to 58 degrees tonight. I can hardly wait for a good night’s sleep with the windows open and real air coming in.
