Runs With Needles

Summer afternoon - Summer afternoon... the two most beautiful words in the English language. - - - Henry James

I looked at the calendar today and it told me that it’s still spring. The calendar is wrong, though. Summer is definitely here.

How do I know?

Laundry drying in the breeze:




Friends sharing a cool drink:




Shaved legs:




Puffy clouds dancing across the sky:




The doggy pool is in full operation:




Rainbow after an afternoon storm:




Bare feet:




Dogs digging holes:




And the dirty paws to prove it:




The furry kids enjoying the day:

Max….



Sam…




Kishka….

A pair of socks is finished!




What: Plum socks
Yarn: KnitPicks Parade in Plum
Needles: 2
Pattern: Basic cuff down in stockinette stitch. 58 stitches, with heel on 29.
Lesson Learned: I lengthened the heel by adding more knit rows between decreases. Also, don’t decrease so much, or the heel gets pointy!
Destination: My feet!!




The next pair of socks is halfway done:



Can you stand even more canine cuteness?
