I'm not gonna lie. In order to officially start Summer of Socks, I had to finish my Coreolis socks (by Cat Bordhi). I tried to photograph them so you could see the swirl that goes around the foot and up the ankle.


















You can kind of see it here. The pattern is toe-up, and I used Austermann Step yarn. It's double-stranded, and you use size 7 needles, so they work up very quickly. I'll do them again one of these days.


Now, I'm free and clear to start my SOS socks.

Whew.










In the meantime, I really need to prove that I'm working against type this summer, and am actually able to keep some plants among the living.















For those of you who are avid gardeners (read: every other person in my genetic history), this would not be a Big Deal. However, if you listen closely, you can hear all those little blooms in one collective sigh...

"Whew."


Finally, I just have to show you this lovely tree that we inherited with the new house. It's on the patio, and absolutely beautiful.

I take no credit whatsoever for its survival.
