trek onward

A few things:

 1. The Trekking sock. Although I am not a strong supporter of the double circular needle sock, it
is the method that I use the most. Here
are my reasons:

• It is the most convenient method when traveling on public
  transportation or by car, small spaces.  There are no needles to lose in between the
  seats, and no needles sticking into the guy next to you.  This also is best for walking, no needles to work their way loose and fall through the rocks or cracks in a boardwalk, for those of you so lucky.
• It works the best for my theory that the sole should be
  knitted on a needle a size or two smaller than that of the upper part of the foot and the leg.  I use a #1 needle for the sole and a #2 needle for the rest of the sock. 
• No additional needles or tools are needed to knit the heel
  if you choose to use the heel flap, gusset method.
• (maybe it is my preferred method afterall)

2. The weather continues to rain, the flowering plants seem
to be very happy with all the moisture. This is not a hydrangea. It is my
elderberry. Unbelieveable! It scent is heavenly, sort of like a fresh
sweet bread sort of thing.

 
(yes, it’s raining)

3. THE Project: an envelope structure, very
interesting. Check out the lines of the
old building.

4. For everyone who wrote asking the name of the beautiful
yarn shop. It is Sakonnet Purls in Tiverton, RI.
