What a weekend! We had one of those weekends where you're still running around madly for half of Monday. Saturday we headed down to Wollongong for Stitch n Bitch.
Here is a Saturday Sky, taken on the road to Wollongong.
It's a pretty drive down there! Here's a bonus sky shot from yesterday evening.
There were bushfires about, which made a pretty sunset.
I have a finished object! Well, half a finished object, anyway.
Number one sock is done. I'm happy with it overall, except for the beads, which you can hardly see. I've blown it up here and circled the beads.
I've strung the beads and started the ribbing for the second one.
I'm going to knit this one blindly from the pattern, and if all is well, I'll post the pattern when I'm done.
Here is the Twinkie video I promised. I swear that she enjoys this, no matter how it looks. She will lay there and let you do this for hours.
Icarus pics next time, all the ones I took came out blurry!

Pretty sock pattern, and the beads are hard to see in the photo. I am sure their easier to see in real life. Cannot wait for Icarus pics too.

Glad you circled the beads. They are hard to see in the photo, but I bet they show up better in person. It's a really nice sock! I know a lot of people are going to want to make it.
if you flap her ears fast enough she just might take off...lol
the sunset and the sock are gorgeous!

Posted by: Singular Stitches at October 31, 2006 10:28 AMOne day I'll steal a little bit of your sky and paste it in mine. lol. Those are some gorgeous skies you have. I love your socks! What a pretty design. Twinkie, as endearing as ever. I can tell that she has complete trust in your family. =)

Posted by: Evelyn at November 1, 2006 03:05 AMMy bunny rabbit loving kid just loved the video of Twinkie. She watched it four times and then said, "where can I see more?" Thanks for posting it.
Posted by: Amanda at November 1, 2006 08:56 AMI was sure Twinkie was going to take off.

What a beautiful sunset! The sock is just gorgeous Donna. I will need to make it when you publish the pattern. I wasn't able to see the video though. There is only a blank space.
