Finished the second all variegated socks for Miss E, used up a bunch of small balls and still have enuff to maybe someday down the road make myself a pair. Have two other pair for her as well for next year and year after, made for M but her feet grew so fast that no way will they now fit. So Alisha said she would be happy to put them away until E grows into them. Progress on first of the second pair of greenies, they had been in time out while I finished the variegated pair. Heel is now turned and decreasing for the gusset. Like these even better than the first greenie pair. I unfortunately have to go to town tomorrow, just a week since I was in. Lost front tooth right in front of denture. Road is a nightmare, 30+ slow spots with broken pavement and frost heaves. Some places no faster than 10 mph. Since I was just in only need a few cucumbers.

My close by nesting geese are back, they both did a fly over just before 5 am, whatever spooked them they were very vocal. I sat up in bed thinking someone was at my back door, soon realized it was just geese. Could not fall back asleep. The view this morning from my back porch, looking south-west towards Niut Mountains. After 45 years have never got tired of looking that way Went thru all my tote bags last night thinking I had more projects on the go than I am comfortable with, not. Just two a pair for a man in Kaslo, BC and the green-y pair I started right after finishing pair #1. First pix is of the socks with all the greens I've used so far. Second pix of a possible add of the turq and two blues to the mix, just one pattern then back to just the greens. What say my peeps.

I haz the shot

Out yesterday to get the vaccine, so far so good. Just a bit sore at the injection spot. And am ever so grateful for finally having my number called. Much to write about almost all about socks. I save almost every bit of leftover yarns and sooner or later put it in socks somewhere. Long being a fan of greens I finally made myself a pair of green Monstersocks. I easily have enuff still left to make another pair. Miss M that I have been making odd socks for for the last 5-6 years has gone thru a real growth spurt from a 5-6 in early fall to almost an 8, so last two pair of socks will have to go someplace else. And waiting in the wings is Miss E, will be a bit before these fit but her Mom will store until the time comes. Road to Tatla pretty well dry, a few damp spots and lots of frost heaves makes going slow. And was delighted to find my driveway completely snow and mud free. Also working on first of two pair going to Kaslo, mens size 11, followed by ladies size 11, glad I ha...
