fiberaddictOr, a Photo Post!
We got SNOW last night! So, so pretty - have a few photos for posterity:
From the front porch, towards the gate:
Front yard, again, but panoramic:
My Jeep:
And, Knitting:
First up, the promised Kilt Hose photos, sans model. I'll try to get action shots this weekend:
I have to say, I have knit a LOT of things, but these...I am proud of these. They'll only fit him for maybe 2 Festivals, but hey - *I* knit a pair of Kilt Hose!
My Yaacov socks, pre-frogging. Yes, I was almost to the heel. No, I couldn't live with them:
And, the New-New project - socks. Of course. :lol: This pattern is Celtic Pennies by Heatherly Walker (same lady who did my Hieroglyphic Socks!).
The yarn is a Cashmere/Merino/Nylon blend that I hand-dyed. It's...yummy doesn't cover it. WONDERFUL to knit - so soft and squishy and.....decadent feeling.
Also, today is Purim! Have a happy Holiday! I've got Hamantashen dough in the 'fridge; in a bit we'll be making cookies. Apple, Cherry, and Chocolate. :yum!: Not sure about dinner yet, but we'll have cookies! :lol:

The weather here is being aggressively perfect, build a snowman for me?

Date: 2015-03-05 11:21 pm (UTC)I've ordered a sock blank, and will be dyeing up some BRIGHT yarn to have a do-over. Herself is in charge of the colors....be prepared for eye-blindingly bright and jarring. :shudder: (But if it were up to me, I'd end up with blue/green/teal/purple/periwinkle...which, while pretty, is BORING. And would match everything in my closet. I want BRIGHT socks, darn it! :lol;)
