Fall really has arrived here at the Babbage patch. The apples are falling off the trees and the blue jays are knocking down the rest. We had a beautiful red-headed woodpecker out there this morning. Even the puppies enjoy the apples. I feel guilty that the trees haven’t been pruned for several years. We would probably have better fruit if the trees were better cared for.
Knitting has been progressing well. I have finished a couple pairs of socks and have another pair on the needles.
This pair is for me. The yarn is from KSD, and is a merino/bamboo/nylon sock blend. It is very soft with a soft bloom. I’m curious to see what it will do when washed.
I completed the sock monkey suit for Tesla.
Her parents have promised lots of photos.
I finally found the other hank of yarn to finish Flint. I had been test knitting this wonderful sweater and misplaced the yarn in the midst of reorganizing. It is so purple that it really is hard to lose, but lose it I did!
The pups have been keeping me busy. Ike decided to see what made ‘his’ pillow fluffy.
He then took a nap because exploration into textiles is hard work. But the fact that it is flat does not take away its cuddle properties.
In other news Tina will be starting school next month. She will then come home and teach Ike her new tricks.
