But just chilly enough - this is what Taffy is doing.....
She is working on Auntie Muffy's next pair of socks. I have finished two pairs for Kev-Inn. Here is his first pair.
These are made from that Colinette Jitterbug yarn - which comes in smallish skeins - so I used some leftover yarn from Granny Maureen's socks to do the cuffs and toes. Kev-Inn likes blue more than any other colour, so I think he will like these. Since I can fit two pairs of socks into one of those small padded envelopes; and since I was at the Joanne store anyway, I checked out the yarn there to see if they had anything appropriate for another pair for Kev-Inn. They had some yarn on sale at such a ridiculously low price, I thought I should try it. I had some misgivings since it is 100% Dralon - whatever that is. I'm quite sure it is a man-made fibre and I didn't really like the texture once I got started. But, I did love the colours, so I carried on. The question is how well will they last and how comfortable will they be. Oh well, the yarn was so inexpensive that it won't really matter, I can always take them apart and make them into something else if they don't turn out to be good socks! They look like this....
Of course, we've done lots of other stuff since last time I posted. For instance, we went for another long walk to the Publix and stopped to snap a picture of those plants by the RBC. Now they look like this......
I'll post a close-up of that flower soon.
Taffy has taken up knitting! And what a great job she is doing!
