Mysterious Socks

I should have posted these on Monday but you know how it is…

My Sock Yarn Addicts Club Sock Pal Socks Arrived on Saturday! Woot!

orange red and brown and yellow

From Ariel. Aren’t the cards cute? Where do y’all find such fun things?

They are beautifully made and fit perfectly! I also really like the pattern: Lava Flow Socks by Sockbug. The colors are thrilling (I love bright socks). But the hands down best part of the socks is that they are made from some Mysterious Chinese Yarn. I’m not kidding. The label is in Chinese and neither one of us can read Chinese. Here is a close up of the ball band in case any of y’all read Chinese and can enlighten the rest of us. The “handwash” symbol is clear enough! Thank you so much, Ariel! I know I will enjoy wearing these as much as I’ve enjoyed looking at them as soon as it isn’t 93° outside!

The sock is going well. The shawl is not. We got a total of ZERO raindrops from Alberto. Not that we are especially close to where he was going, but I had hoped for a little bit to tamp the dust down. I think we are on the way to a “No Outside Watering” situation. At least the grass won’t need to be mowed for a while.

PS Today is Flag Day!

Knitting in Public

All of the pictures of me KIPing in the Chinese place turned out so badly that I will not entertain you with them. Instead, here is my avatar KIPing in Second Life. Sad that I should be Pretend Knitting in a game? Yes, indeedy. But I am the obsessed individual who brought knitting to the Virtual World. My Dad will be so proud.
