The sock continues to have adventures. In a remarkably brave attempt (on the socks part) to join me in my weekend, damn it’s hot, let’s do things to stay cool activities; the sock and I went out in the kayak for a paddle. The sock resisted the urge to cool itself by jumping into or trailing its yarn in the water.
I did not (resist). We paddled to a lovely area of the pond where many old cedars stand as skeletons, places for birds to nest and ducks to hide.
After startling a trio of Mallards the sock decided to go ashore.. a stump could well be an island to a sock.. and catch the view. Please note the sock’s life line still attached to the kayak.
A good time was had by all. It is uncertain whether all this traipsing around with the sock has really increased productivity. I suspect that it has not, but that it has upped the silliness photo ops. Ahhh, the force of blogging.
Later in the day, still in the interest of staying as cool as possible,
I cranked on the AC and plied up (using the extremely long draw method taught by Alden Amos several weeks ago) some wool / mohair I had waiting on bobbins.

And it’s a very pretty sock, worthy of some nice adventures!
That is one lucky sock! It had a lovely weekend…hope you did, too. Your spinning is gorgeous. The color is yummmmy.
And the sock yearns for more adventures….as long as you continue its life line who knows where it may go…keep us updated on its journey. BTW…does said sock have a name???
One spoiled & good looking sock, full of personality. Sounds like a partner to me, can I join the sock next time it travels?
Good sock. The yarn really catches the eye. Sounds like the black flies went somewhere else.
Great sock! It looks comfortable there nestled on that stump!
Stay cool!
I envy your sock!!
I’m quite positive that posing one’s work in progress doesn’t up productivity. Quite.
