Passing Gently

 We said goodbye to Mattie today.

 

  

She was a good girl.

 

Color Clash

I knitted a pair of rolled cuffs for another short shortie socks. Instead of choosing a blue yarn for the heel and foot of the sock I chose an orange yarn. I got a little bit of the heel done and decided I don't like the colors together. I will rip it back to the cuff and start again with a blue yarn.

Yes, We Did

A month ago Rusty, our neighbor, texted a pic of the elk they saw.

Today we were able to text him a pic back.

 

 

 I took an iPhone pic with my not-the-greatest binoculars.

 

8:19 am

 

It was very exciting to see an elk in the neighborhood. Ah-mazing.

Rerouted

The Man will be home tomorrow.

He usually drives I-5 south and then takes Hwy 41/46 west.

Tomorrow he is going to take a different route.

 

Short Shorties

I have been wearing the summer socks I knit with the rolled cuff. I tweaked the cuff length a wee bit for the second sock (black edge) and like the fit better. I am using leftover Regia wool yarn from my previous knit socks. Even on the very hot days the wool socks feel more comfortable than the cotton socks I tried.

 

 

Almost finished with the second pair.

 

 

Short Shorties:

Cuff down vanilla sock with rolled cuff, Fish Lips Kiss Heel, and round toe.
