I think I may have started a few too many projects and I am now on a mission to finish some of them off. Let's see what I can get done in the next few days.
First off the production line is the next, pair nine, in the Two Make a Pair project. A. knit hers lickety split as she was driving to her new home. I, however, only worked on my sock a few minutes here and there until I had to sit at the car shop waiting for my car to be serviced. While there, I finally made enough progress that I was encouraged to finish without much more delay.
The pattern, Go With the Flow Socks by Evelyn Clark, can be found in the Spring 2005 issue of Interweave Knits or Favorite Socks by Interweave Press.
We used Wildfoote Luxury Sock Yarn by Brown sheep. We followed the pattern as printed except worked the first 10 rows P2, K4 instead of following the chart in the book.
I have learned that it is very difficult to photograph your own feet from the side. I have done it a few times but I have to take soooooo many photos. I just hold the camera out and click. There is no way to see what will be in the picture. I take a bunch of shots and then look at them on the computer and go back out to try again. So, I sort of put M. in charge of this photo shoot. When the evening light was right we went out and he had me stand on some old fence boards beside the pumpkin patch. I didn't argue because at that point P. was the only other person around and I don't think her photo would have turned out any better than one I would take. I am lucky I did not break a bone. The next sock photo may be a photo taken by me looking straight down at my feet. We shall see. M also took photos here, here, and here.
P. wanted in on the action so he also took this photo.
Sometimes I wonder what the neighbors think when we are out with the camera.
We just "go with the flow..."
