How's this for a bit of a guffaw? I spent soooo much time on this but laughed anyway because it looks so ridiculous! I decided to keep it to show my friend Cherry Blossom and knit up a third sock (I unraveled the first - way way off, even more than this one). We did a fitting on Wednesday with the updated heel and it fit her much better. I have this pic I took before I made it around the heel:
We laughed so hard we nearly cried and I put the big sock around a vase on the table near where we sit during Japanese class while unsuspecting church people walked by. It was good to have something funny because Cherry Blossom lost her mother-in-law two weeks ago in a tragic accident and I brought her a condolence card & some lilies.
I'm also working on my "Marina" pattern using my Noro Taiyo yarn. Mmmm such a pleasure to work with and such quick results for creating fabric per stitch than a sock-sized stitch. I'm hoping to have it finished in a couple of weeks, but whatever. I'm going to enjoy the process. Here's a pic of what I have so far on the back:
And finally, just for kicks I have a couple of garden pictures. The first is a pic of a blossom from my razzleberry bush. The blossoms are nice but the bush looks like garbage, so I only took a picture of the good part:
And second is a picture of a blossom of thyme or something like that we have growing in the front rock garden. It gets pretty rangy.
