You remember how we were going to fly to Virginia this year? Well. At the last minute, minds were changed and we ended up driving. For those of you who are keeping score, Google says that it takes 11 hours to get from south Alabama to Virginia. It took us about 13 – there was an unscheduled stop at the Mayfield Dairy in Tennessee for ice cream. We were in the car for a looooong time. Long enough for a single Mary Esther sock
Sock-on-the-dashboard pose shamelessly stolen from Teyani.
to acquire a mate.
I finished the toe (it’s not grafted) as we pulled up to VT.
The pictures are courtesy of Mr. Pink (here’s a bonus William Henry I found in there). I brought the digital camera, but neglected to bring the camera cable which means that these are the best visuals you’ll get until Saturday! I’ll see about getting pictures of the art projects I am doing with the kids since I didn’t have time to show you before hand. And I will certainly take a picture of Bethany’s yarn and there are some knitting books in the book store – someone must be teaching a workshop.
Remember, you’ve got until tonight to get your Dish Rag Stacks photographed, posted and reported!
Heyyyyyy you were RIGHT HERE! Aren’t my mountains loverly? If you come back this way, give me a head’s up! I’ll meet you somewhere and hug yer neck! 😀 Happy trails!
Oh, that is a long time to be in a car. Lovely socks!
Happy driving! Great socks!
I’ve spent a lot of time in the car these last few weeks, but nothing that good came out of it. Lovely socks Emily!!
Good heavens. Reminds me of ski trips. Did you know that Mayfield was a GA Tech grad?? That’s why the milk is gold and not someother color. Heehee, go Jackets!
Hope you brought extra knitting for trip home! Nice looking socks.
What beautiful socks!
You stopped in Athens! I used to live there. One of my good friends works at Mayfield, in the office part. Hope you enjoyed your visit. Athens is a precious little town (and of course, the ice cream is great).
How do non knitters survive long car trips? The socks are lovely
Knitting socks in the car is a great way to fill in time on a road trip. They are beautiful.
The MARY Esther sock is lovely. Are they the same socks in the second picture? I loved the color in the first shot. They can’t be the same are they?
I’ve been on vacation. Cannot wait to post again ….probably tomorrow. 🙂
We have an acqaintance at the lodge, who is a postal worker. I was telling him about dishrag tag and he hadn’t heard of any such thing. He laughed. He said that live chicks are sent in the mail and bees get sent in the mail too! I never!
love the socks – isn’t the dashboard pose the best (big grin!)
Have a fabulous trip.
Those are amazing, I love them!! I always love it when a sock has that rare (almost unheard of in my house) opportunity to have a partner to go through life with. They are so prettyful.
I did have a question for you though because I can’t seem to access the forums on the website. I’m in Rags to Dishes. I haven’t even heard from my leader yet though.
Love the yarn,
K.
