The lack of posting the past week is directly related to the amount of work that I have accomplished during that said same period of time. To knit or not to knit, to blog or not to blog, to knit or to blog, to dye or to knit or to blog… to work. Ahhh… work, there it is again. We do the best we can. C has been working the farm, I’ve been working the business and when I’ve got a minute, I’ve been dyeing. I’ll post pictures as soon as I can get the light and the time.
I began to wonder if one of the reasons that I have so many socks presently under construction might be that I just wasn’t treating them with the love and respect that they apparently need. This idea comes from reading bloggers that treat their socks to vacations, enrichment trips, dinners, and what have you and somehow DO manage to complete PAIRS of socks. (it could be that the same sock is shown over and over again in new and exciting settings, but… maybe it’s worth a try.) So, this weekend, the SOCK and I took a break and went sailing. Proof:
Thank goodness my friends are not too judgmental.. tho’ there was talk of hanging it out from the hook on the fishing pole. After considering this for a second (only one, I promise.. I decided that fear should not be introduced to the SOCK)
and a closeup..

The sock looks like it’s having a wonderful time!
I wanna be your sock!!
Your sock is braver than mine! (I’d be terrified one of the DPNs would fall out – of course, that’s part of the reason I work on two circs.) I did briefly consider taking mine to Fenway last week, but while the sock is most certainly a Red Sox fan (and gets a lot of opportunities to watch games), I wasn’t so sure the Fenway security folks would be *sock* fans … much less the fans in the bleachers with me. Perhaps next time.
A little salt air through the sock’s fibers ought to buck it up a bit.
Judy…you old salt you! Sounds like you had more fun than the sock!
Ohhhhh……..your sailing pictures make me homesick!! I grew up on the water and I can’t tell you how much I miss it. Just lovely……I can almost smell the salt water air. I grew up on the coast, even if your pictures are not of the ocean……that is what I think of looking at them.
Great Sock!!!
Hey Judy,
Beautiful yarn and sock. Really pretty yarn. And tis true, socks reward us with a pair finished when they go everywhere with us…they pout when left at home.

Seasick socks sail softly sliding sumptuously settling sensibly side by side….
your sock rocks and so does it’s world. su
