Have you picked yourself up off the floor? Can you believe I knit a pair? A pair? They are so ugly they are cute (ok, not ugly, just not super matchy and  quite homey looking, which I find completely charming) and I couldn’t  love them more.

These have been my go-to knit for all the social/family functions and car trips  we’ve had as of late and, by the speed of which the second sock was knit, you can tell there have been quite a few (I thought summer was suppose to be slower paced????),

• Yarn: Crown Mountain Sock Hop – Lucy In The Sky
• Needles: 1.5 (US)
• Pattern: Very basic 64st, top down

 

On a completely non-yarn related note, but still a very big deal in our house today ~

You may or may not be aware (or remember) that Bob is a tad eccentric. Charmingly so.   To illustrate, here is a sampling of just a few of Bob’s hobbies throughout the years:

• Salt Water Reef Aquariums
• Bee Keeping
• Photography
• Microscopes (this has grown from a hobby to a profession)
• Rocket building
• Wood Working
• Boating
• Telescope Building
• Astronomy

Which brings me to: Did you know that tonight is one of the best meteor showers of the entire year? So good, in fact, that Bob went to bed at 7:30 p.m. because he plans to be up at 2:00 a.m. for the best viewing. If you’d like more information – here you go  and here.  Says it better than I ever could. Enjoy!

Now, back to yarn ~

There will be a big etsy update later this week. I’ll be sure to post the date and time so everyone has a heads up! Some yarn that will be in the update:
