I've been knitting socks for many years. This has never happened to me and if it had I NEVER would have left them this way.  They would have been ripped out down to the heel! But now,  life's just to short to worry about a pair of socks!!  Pattern: A Study in Helical Knitting Yarn: Cascade Yarns, Schachenmayr Regia 4 fadig Colorway: Indigo Violet, 39721 Needle Size: US Size 1

I was happy to make a quilt for a little baby boy who will be born in ND in May. Hope to get it to the NorDakPurlGirl soon. The baby's room is going to be decorated in foxes. I had the blue flannel on hand. I went to the fabric store before social distancing to find cotton fox print and other color coordinated fabric. A book I read recently said to buy five different types of print for a quilt, large scale print with multiple colors (fox print), striped (gray), dotted (blue), almost solid (orange), small scale (orange swirls). I think it worked quite well. I bought a half a yard or each and think I'll me able to make another in a different pattern.

I was knitting these socks for one of the four guys who were going to be traveling to Ireland with me. Unfortunately the trip was canceled. Fortunately it was canceled before we left!

Hubby is always on the lookout for new adventures when we visit Hawaii. This year he found a lava tube tour touted as the longest lava tubes in the world. Still thinking we are young kids he signed us up for the three hour tour.  Our fellow tour mates were thirty somethings from France calling themselves "Team France."  Let me just say it was quite a workout! I hadn't brought any sturdy shoes with me on this trip so we stopped and bought some cheap shoes. By the time our tour was over the shoes were chewed up and the soles had separated form the tops and they were trash! I'd recommend this tour. Kula Kai Cavern's are located on the Mauna Loa slope near the South Point. They are estimated to be 1000 years old, one of the youngest tubes, and are several miles long.  The next day I had several lovely bruises to show for my endeavors!
