I’m sure it’s not news to you that I’m crazy about knitting socks, and I’ve been known to pull a pair out of my purse to crank out a few rows whenever I have a minute.  One of the ladies from Mt Vineyard gave me some vintage sock knitting patterns, because she knew I would put them to good use.  This month for the Sock Knitters Anonymous group on ravelry it’s vintage pattern month so The Webmaster’s getting a new pair of socks.  The yarn is  Hazel Knits Artisan Sock in Sagebrush for the main color, and I had some leftovers in Weekend Warrior, Wheatberry, and Rogue Red for the stripes.   The manual striping is going to involve a gabillion ends to weave in so to make it seem less daunting I’m trying to do it every couple of pattern repeats.

My Cookie A mystery socks are finished. This is my first time using Bugga (in acmon blue) and I’m in love. Don’t worry HK I won’t be leaving you anytime soon. The Bugga is so soft and luxurious with the cashmere giving the socks a lovely haze. I’m curious to find out how the socks wear…don’t worry  I’ll keep you posted.

I’ve been trying out my mini tripod just to get the hang of it, and JY is very insistent on “helping” me. I took this one last weekend while The Webmaster was taking his Father’s Day nap. We had fun, but I think we need some practice making our “fake smiles” look genuine.

Next time I may be posting from the great outdoors, but we had a slight setback involving frozen brake calipers so it’s kind of up in the air. Hopefully Firestone will come through for us and we’ll have only missed a day or two of camping.
