Still Hot!

It's another lovely day in Florida! After breakfast we went to the Post Office, and the grocery store........and.......then Poppa trudged up the hill with his bucket of balls and tried out his skills on the driving range again. I thought he did really well, he thought he did not so well.......but at any rate, he had fun and I got a few shots. As you can see, the grass is a little brown from those below freezing nights we had recently, but hopefully it will recover its lovely green hue shortly, now that the weather is more like Florida should be.
After a couple of hours in and around the pool reading or swimming, Poppa decided to hit the golf course again for 9 holes. So...here I am again. The sweater I started for myself is finished. Well, almost finished - it still needs to be blocked and buttons added before it is totally done. And...here is a new picture of the sock. As you can see, the heel is now complete and I have started up the foot. I hope the expected recipient is pleased with the outcome...I really like the yarn, which is a 75% wool/25% nylon mix - perfect for socks, called Confetti 100 Superwash from Diff. G. Brui Inc. in Ile Bizard, QC. I ordered it from yarnbythebag.com in B.C. Interesting hey? Made in Quebec, ordered by someone from Ontario, shipped from B.C., to Florida, U.S.A. A long route it took - Hee!

And of course, our picture of the day of our favourite Canadian Male Munchkin Model. He got all bundled up to go and watch Dada play hockey on the weekend. He posed nicely to display the wonderful fuzzy coverup he uses in his car seat during the winter..and of course his Toronto Maple Leafs helmet...he is showing them off perfectly.....of course, he found the sunlight on the snow kind of bright, so his eyes are not as wide as we have become accustomed to.

  1. What a pretty sweater. I'm so glad you finally made one for yourself. And the sock is looking better all the time.
