Wow! 85 on Saturday. A mild 75 today. Just gorgeous. There are flowers everywhere and the breeze is divine. M & I spent the afternoon replanting veggies & flowers in our community plot, 21 Acres. We were the only folks about for most of it and it was quite pleasant & very productive. Hopefully these plants will live. Last set died from too little water, too many slugs, and too many birds. Probably a squirrel or two helped as well.
THIS time we have a fence!! Cuz I am SURE chicken wire will keep out all animals from eating our precious summer foods. Especially the slugs. They are very receptive to things like galvanized wire. They respect the boundaries quite well...
SOCKS - I am still alive in the Sock Wars competition but who knows for how long? I am hoping to at least finish one sock before I die. ITs ridiculous really. I am not usually THAT slow of a knitter..okay, I admit I have tendency to take awhile, but that's because I don't knit for months at a time on a project. This one I knit at, contemplate whether or not to frog, knit for a bit, contemplate frogging...you see how this is going. The socks are soo soft, but the ragg pattern on the yarn doesn't make the pattern pop, so I can't tell if I am doing it right or not...very frustrating, because the only place where I tend to fudge things is in the seams...not in the pattern. I am quite particular about patterns and how correct they are...but with Death on the line, I am willing to suck in my gut and just offer them up. I am sorry that they aren't as fabulous as they could be...I didn't know the stitch pattern would be so integral to the project. I was expecting something a bit more basic....wherein my ragg dye lot would play out much nicer...
Oh well. Live and learn.
