Red Twizzle Socks for AL

By -


The other images I took are so bright they may injure someone. The true color of the socks is more berry and more dazzle.
Al will have them for many cold days 9 months out of our Chicago weather year.
I love this silk and merino yarn from Mountain Colors .

I accidentally bought 2 % milk this week . When I tasted it, it was so good compared to skim! What a treat. Cheap thrills continue here at Irisheyes!

What's your cheap thrill this week?
I talk more in the comments!

I love those socks!! I was hoping they are as red as they show up in the photo. Al is going to have warm, pretty tootsies.

2% milk is a guilty pleasure but I can't drink whole milk anymore after years of skim. It's like drinking melted cheese.

Pretty socks

Tom was making choc chip cookies the other night from our small batch baking book and was out of brown sugar so he added more white sugar and some dried cranberries, they were really really good! Cheap thrill!!

Nice! I'm really liking sparkly yarns right now.

The Knight brought home fried chicken last night. I don't normally care much for "yardbird" but that was a treat!

Waking up in my own bed after a two-week trip felt pretty good. Not such a "cheap" thrill, however, if you count the cost of travel these days!!

Great socks! Yes - I grew up on skim milk, but switched to 2% as an adult. Tastes great.

 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...
