Summer Sandals


I have ordered my sandals for this summer. And yes, I will sometimes be wearing them with socks. I know that this is considered a big fashion don't, but I live in the Pacific Northwest and we scoff at such nonsense. Rant, rant all you want, people who are horrified to see others wearing socks with sandals, but it's not going to stop me.

April Socks Finished!

Yes, I have finished the April socks and I am now caught up. I am so happy! I started the second sock Saturday morning and completed it this evening. I am astonished I was able to knit a sock in just two days and I didn't just knit either. I went to town on Saturday morning with John and, as I was driving, that meant no knitting time for me. I did the usual laundry, cooking, baking, and housekeeping and went to church this morning. Daylight is gone so I will put up a photo of the April socks tomorrow morning.
