Stormy

We dodged Hurricane Alex this week. This is the look out our back door. Just tons of rain, wind, slop, and some thunder and lightning. We lost a couple of tree limbs and our satellite dish is a little messed up, nothing too bad.

I attempted to photograph my current sock project. It is called Death by Lace, from a Hoar Wars competition. Who names these competitions anyway? I did some modifications since it was a toe up design. I've done a couple of toe ups but I prefer knitting from the cuff down.


The Tour de France and Tour de Fleece start tomorrow. I plan to make a huge dent in my spinning projects. I have had my wheel out in the living room for a few months now and am making a conscious effort to spin more often. Here's a youtube to get you in the mood:

I have a basket of 'worlags' prepped up and ready to go. This is from the Mother's Day fleece Petunia.

Katherine and I did some mother/daughter bonding while learning crochet. She's getting really good at making even stitches and can count her work better than I. I helped with the face details and assembly, but she did all of the pieces by herself. This may be her thing. She even joined Ravelry!

Oops, I forgot these Fruit Loop socks. They were finished right before the weather turned. They're super cushy. Into the gift pile they go.

That's all folks. Stay dry and spin forth!!!!
