Show-Off Strandeds SOS #4

I went to do some knitting the other day, and this is what I found. One of the big-footed chitlins walked on my knitting bag. I straightened it out as good as I could. Most of my sock needles are bent either from them walking on them, sitting on them (or me, too), or just from me using them. Good thing I don't have dpn bamboo -- they'd never last.

I pulled some carrots from my garden just to see if they're growing. They're getting there! I like them a little smaller rather than too big. They taste better that way. (And these were really good.) The green and yellow beans are growing, small yet, but getting there, and the cucumbers and zucchini are all in flower.

I also finished the first pair of socks for my best friend for her birthday next month. They are Show-Off Stranded Socks. I used Cherry Tree Hill in monet. I did an eye of partridge heel instead of one of the heels in the pattern. I also did the toe as I usually do, down to 20sts and graft. The fit ladies size eight. Started July 22, finished the 29th.

I also finished the back of the baby dress.


That's about it for now. I hope to cast on the other pair of socks I want to make for BF within the next day or two. I'll probably go to the camper this weekend, so I'll take those, maybe this dress, and probably the yarn to start some afghan squares.

Happy knitting!
