noro socksWell, it felt like it.  I was wasted by the time we got back from our walk.  I sat out back with a cold drink and knitted for about an hour.  Then I remembered my Noro socks so here they are, on my feet.

noro socks  I thought you might like to see the heels. 

wavy socksI started on my next pair.  This yarn feels wonderful and it’s knitting quickly.  I don’t know whether they are for me or someone else yet.

ZippoMy poor baby was hot.  I asked him if he wanted me to shave him, but he declined my offer.  The fan was doing a good enough job.  Thank you very much. 

Noro Socks

noro socksThey are finished.  I washed them this afternoon and laid them out to dry on the stove.  Then I made banana nut muffins.  Doesn’t everybody make muffins for supper?  Theywere perfect, but the socks are still not dry.  I am happy with this picture.  Maybe, I’ll take another tomorrow.

I got out another hank of yarn to make another pair of socks.  This one is baby Merino and is unbelievably soft.  If I don’t spend too much time in Dover tomorrow, I may be able to start them.  I hoping to get the yarn wound tonight.  I don’t know.  It’s so late all ready and I didn’t sleep well last night.  Doug kept waking me up with his infernal snoring.

I was hoping to sew today, but Maude and Zip had other ideas.  Under Zip are nine neat little stacks of quilt squares to be sewn. 

Step #5 of the mystery was put out last night.  I wasn’t happy with the way it was set up.  One page had nothing to do with the quilt and there was a recipe at the end of it that I knew I would never make.  Since I was not allowed to cut and paste, I told my printer which pages to print and had to hand write a few lines.  One page only had three lines on it and still had half a recipe that I didn’t want.  I do like to bake, but this recipe was gross.
