The overcast skies and the raindrops on the Elephant Ear leaves combined to give a jewel-like shine. I also got the WendyKnits designed Diagonal Lace sock to pose. I have a little cuff left to do before the ribbing. The yarn is Plymouth Sockin' Socks bamboo blend.These were taken with the Nikon D200, which has not been used much lately.
Obedience class and the 40 mile trip each way is very tiring. I am tired too.
Well, it is the only project that I have been working on. It is a pretty easy knit, once I got over the no-stitch symbols on the chart. Once the cable section is done, it is just knitting in the round. I have been been working on it at lunch and not getting to it at home much. Last night I had to rip out a few rows to get back on track. Belvedere walked up to the sofa one night and picked up my skein of Ella Rae Silkience yarn in his mouth. The yarn is aqua-it's cloudy outside. You have to pry his jaws apart to get things out. He felted one of my wool slippers a little more recently, and dragged a wool sweater on the floor. Yes, I need to put stuff up. I have not been walking outside since Tuesday, when I got dehydrated, which triggers migraines. DH took Belvedere to a hooman birthday party with his flag bandana, toys, dishes, food and treats.
I saw these cute Teva sandals with cork soles on eBay. They came in he mail today/
We did get a little snow today. Muffin and I went out in the snow to check the flowers.
Whuuut? Big deal, this snowfall
The daffodils look OK, Mom.
We have one early bloomer peach tree. With snow on it.
Snow collected on the back of my car. I made a snowball
The theme of today's walk was apparently glowing red leaves. I spotted the oak tree on my way back home and had to go back to it.
Then I saw the sweetgum
Even Bradford Pear looks pretty
I just wanted a photo of mimosa seed pods because they looked so weird. A cool wind was blowing and all the seed pod rattled.
Now I plan to knit. I also picked three baskets of apples and made applesauce and cranberry orange waffles.
So I have gotten to the hood for CPH. I think I don't need to worry about running out of yarn anymore, I have lots left for the hood and ribbing trim. Whew
My Wee Tiny Sockie for the Wee Tiny Sock Swap is finished. It seems to brighten up a cool overcast day.
Peanut is tired. This is the best shot I could get, as the camera and I don't hold her interest enough to make her look up.
But, my FIL can sure hold their interest with a dog biscuit. DH entitled this shot, "High Priest of the Bone-bone addresses the congregation."
L to R: Buddha, Junior (DH's namesake), Trellis and Susie. Honey and Peanut, MIA, get spoiled too, don't worry.
Hey, remember the Central Park Hoodie? I finished the right front last night, and it is blocking now. Next step-hood!
Hey, Deb, it's spring now, the Japanese magnolia is blooming!
The peach trees are covered with blossoms...
There are pink and white petals everywhere!
Why, yes it is snowing in Alabama. Again. I had to go out and get pictures before it went away.
And, my Saturday Sky photo:
First, here is a photo of the Elder's Mill Covered Bridge, over Rose Creek, near my sister's house in Watkinsville, GA. More info here. This image has been in the camera for a couple of weeks.
The rest of the photos are from the banks of Terrapin Creek, near our house. DH and I drove through the stubble of a cornfield that is usually cotton. I slid on the bank, and was attacked by thorns to get these photos for you.
When we got back to the house, I checked out the garden. We still have tomatoes (see, Bekka? I did say November) and basil.
And the Confederate,and/or Cotton Roses, are blooming their heads off.
Gee, titles are hard. Maybe it's the tropical heat wave we've been having... Check out the pineapple plant.
And all the talk about Colinette Jitterbug on Socknitters made me get Toscano out and wind it. Thinking of attempting the simple pattern on the label.
