Hot, hot, hot!

87 degrees F. today but I finished a pair of wool socks. No blocking here - just basic sockage! And this was my very first sock set from my homemade "Sock of the month" kit - remember this?

Bag #1 - Pagewood Farm Yukon Hand Dyed Sock Yarn/Prism for use with Twilight socks. Just say, "Checking it off!"

Until it cools off, I am working on a small hat for charity and perhaps a washcloth. When it gets cooler - I have a shrug for Oldest Daughter and the dreaded Brown Sweater to resume. Let's just say, I have some issues there that we'll discuss another day. 

S'awright!

I've been spending time this week working on my 2-at-a-time Twilight socks. This pair actually went very smoothly - no gaps at the points where you switch needles - but the pair is a bit hard to photograph.

It actually reminded me of a bit of a sock puppet! Perhaps Lambchop?

I can probably get an inch or two more done tonight.

This Saturday's Seven is a pretty random batch:

A plastic lid, a pink hoodie, a pair of boy shorts, a mini-hockey stick, a pair of boots, a stuffed bear and a  commemorative bowl from Avon. I would have kept the bowl for Oldest Daughter's new apartment but - silly thing - it's marked "not safe for food use." So, what would I use a bowl for?

While you're pondering that thought, I thought you'd like this glimpse at another set of hand puppets. Senor Wences and his pals Pedro and Johnny. And a chicken.

 

Well, the partying continues.

Okay, maybe not partying. Activity-ing? An award banquet and dinner out with my husband and, again, people coming to my house. It's a school parent activity that I put off for far too long and now - the big day will be here Friday.

Pie and coffee - what could be more Minnesotan?

This isn't so Minnesotan - I call it Oriental Pizza and boy, has it been good. Good for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Luckily, it has some vegetables.

Since I've been keeping up my strength - I've been getting some knitting in here and there.

I actually have a few more inches right now but the pattern doesn't change until I get to the heel.
