I’m still knitting when I find the time but there’s just never enough time to get everything done. I’m going to be doing good to get two pairs of socks finished . . especially since I haven’t finished one pair yet.
Yesterday morning I had been running errands and doing this and doing that and when I had a break in the action and was heading over to the sewing room, I realized it was almost time for Vince to come home for lunch. It was a cloudy day . . I’ve never lived where it gets so close to raining yet never rains. All morning I just knew we were going to get a good rain but didn’t get a drop. The clouds just passed on by. Instead of running to the sewing room for 10 minutes, I sat on the porch, propped my feet up and knitted.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, Vince came driving up.
You can see that I had a visitor on the porch and she left behind a bit of a pile of droppings! Those darned chickens! See the avocado tree there in the pot? Chad and Nicole started that from a seed and gave it to me.
The heel has been turned and I’m starting on the foot portion of the second blue sock. Maybe I’ll get this finished by the end of the month.

Beautiful socks, Judy! I am wearing my Opal Socktober socks today. Wondering if I should have used a smaller needle size–I used size two circulars, and these socks feel much looser than the other socks I have knitted. The yarn was Opal Cotton.
