Socks and Storm Clouds

Leave a comment

Sunday was a beautiful day to be in Central Texas. It was in the seventies and I spent the better half of the day outside cutting back perennials and tidying things up. Jealous? Oddly enough, the weather forecast says there will be a 52 degree drop by tomorrow morning.

My husband is proud to wear these babies, much unlike the first pair I knit him which are a bit slouchy. Not his look at all.

I just remembered I forgot to show this. My lovely handsome assistant Noodle is holding 3 store bought scarves. While these scarves are perfectly nice, they were a gift long before I knit. "Nuff said.
