What a Party and Some Sock Knitting

All the work we put in last week getting the yard and the house ready for Meg's Graduation party was so worth it. It was hot and sunny in the low 90's and we couldn't have asked for a better day. Good company, good kids and loads of fun!!

As far as sock knitting goes, I started Belle Epoque from Melissa Morgan-Oakes' book, 2 at a Time Socks. This is a great pattern. I'm not terribly thrilled with the color of the yarn but it's growing on me.

Busy Week

And thank you!

Busy, busy week. Meghan's grad party is Saturday. We've been cleaning the house and the yard (lots of weeding around the pool). Pete's cleaning the carpets. And tomorrow we shop for food and start cooking. Fun, fun, fun! I always get stressed out over these things. But I think it will be fun. Fingers crossed the weather is nice!!!!

Number 3

Sock 1 of my third SOS 08 pair

The cuff on these is 2 repeats instead of 2.5 or 3. I just wanted shorter socks. I like the pattern. It's easy to remember. You can't see it very well with this CTH "Water" but I like it anyway.
