Just the Sox Ma'am, just the Sox

Lorna's Laces Bee Stripe Sox. Started on vacation, finished under the influence of cold and sinus medication.

The trained eye knows the Hungarian isn't wearing those socks just now. Look at those legs!

I consider myself a pretty plain knitter. These are roll top (roll down that is) cuffs in straight knit all the way around and around. I should give myself more credit, perhaps. Not everyone can knit a pair of socks on cold medication.......

2 cute post cards arrived today from deb. More on the postcards later......

What has happened to postcards. Our post office used to have them, but not any more. I will have to try the visitors center. The socks look great

Nice looking socks Kathy. Could also be Sunflower socks :-) as they have the same colours.

I've heard of the "bee's knees" before. I guess those are the bee's ankles. Very cute.

Lovin' the stripes!!! Just what I'd need in the cold Wisconsin winters to remind me of summer!

Love the socks. I was going to knit these for Chris, but seeing as they're not as striped as I thought, they will be for me now!

What a perfect name for that colorway. If I were on cold medicine, there'd be more un-knitting than knitting going on.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I

  These are the one square bunnies .  They are a free pattern on Rave1ry.  I'm bunny making to force spring to come.  I'm a1so taking it easy on my hands again.  The med we tried did keep my hands from shaking, but it was a med for a med. and that's crazy town.  I can contro1 a hook much better than need1es.  It wi11 have to suffice for now.  I'm enjoying your b1ogs and your Spring.  This time of year I so want to 1ive in a southern state.  But this Spring is a new one for me and I'm going to find a way to 1ove it.   IT may have just gotten to 50.   Degrees.  I have to run.  There's very ear1y yardwork to do.   The birds have 1eft a rotten mess of sunf1ower she11s under the feeders.  I hope it is not frozen!  Have you been switching things up in your neck of the woods?   I haven't forgotten you, b1og pa1s.  I 1ove seeing you on Instagram .

Do You Smile When You Knit???

I am pretty sure I smile when I knit.  I'm going to think about that today when I pick up the baby blanket in progress.  I am also pretty sure I cry when I knit; well, not really.  I have shed some tears over the years but they were way back.  I surely scowl when I drop a stitch.   A time lapse of knitters' faces would be interesting enough .... Tank, aka Helo, is starting to smile around here.  Just look into those aqua eyes......they make me smile all the time. He is half Siamese and all gorgeous.
