I took these pictures New Year's Eve, in Florida. It was 67°F, and I was ready to paddle a bit but was assured by my in-laws that I'd catch pneumonia etc. Sissies :)
Way too small for me though: they will go on my feet - but the cable pattern is all stretched. At least now I have a jump on my knitting for Christmas '08!
I am still in Florida, the state of four seasons in one day (thunder/rain/sun/fog), back up North for work on Jan 2. While not refereeing dogs/DS I'll be working on these:
I bought this sock yarn, Maizy - 82% corn and 18% elastic, at the Destin Yarn Shop. I can't resist unusual fibers. I loved the owner's explanation to a coworkers about how it's made "this big machine chews up the corn and spits it out and that stuff is spun into yarn". It has great texture - quite stretchy, though the ply separate very easily...let's see how far I get on the way back. Maybe it's time to start that sweater I've been threatening instead of all these 'instant gratification' projects?
He, in turn, had to good fortune to marry me. The downside is that some Christmases are Irish, like this:
And my good friend Heather, married a guy she met in Sydney, so her Christmases are like this!
This Christmas, we're going to Florida (me, DH, DS and two DD (dear dogs)) in rented minivan, hitting the road tomorrow. 1900 miles. Hope I don't forget to pack the valium.
