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 ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
