Our back porch is visible from one neighbor’s house. What must they think if they see us on the porch at 7am in our jammies taking pics of socks?
I may get the trellis out & grow some morning glory or ivy. On the other hand I may choose to not care. Living out loud, honestly, [...]

Another pair of Ravelympic socks? Maybe.
I wanted so much to see how the yarn I got yesterday would knit up!
While casting on the yarn seemed too splitty, thin & not spun tightly enough (the opposite of CTH), but what else did I have to do with my hands while marvelling at those amazing Olympians? 1/100th [...]

Tired of dragging thick (2.75mm) bamboo needles thru the instep increases I slipped into something more comfortable: Addi dpns. SAME exact size! But the outcome is so different:
If I hadn’t been so excited about the Olympic swimming (wow!!!) I might have noticed sooner & tinked. However, these are Men’s size #$%^ 14 socks. And, I [...]
