Rainy Day Work

The middle of October and I swear...it looks like winter, feels like it too. They [those weather people] indicated that this storm would happen last night and be finished by this morning. Well, here it is after 11AM and pouring, and expected to be that way all day. I had unimportant errands planned but now since they are not that necessary they are going to wait for tomorrow, which is forecasted to be sunny! Sure it is. I just washed the car a few days ago and maybe that really is the reason I don't want to go out. After all it's not like I am going to melt.

































I am just so pleased with this sock. The stripes are matching up almost perfectly. Get's a bit tricky with that picot edge detail.

And I am slowly coming along with this one.

Here Comes The Big One

I can't see Mt. Tam...rain and wind there. At my house I am waiting for the rain "they" [those weather folks] said would be here at 3 PM. Well it is definitely on its way. Our first storm of the season! So today while the weather was decent I ran around doing errands, to the bank, to the post office, to the market, to the yarn store, and now I am pooped. I just finished the Picot Edge Sock...turned out nicely, only one small problem...small it is! I should have gone about 1/4 to 1/2 inch more on the length. I guess these will be going to someone else who has a smaller foot than me. I have to keep up the enthusiasm to finish the second one now that it doesn't fit me and all that excitement of a new pair is dashed. I know, I could rip out the toe and keep adding some length to it - but I am not.

Ohhhh Baby!
