A cable and rib patterned boot sock
Seems like ages since I’ve written here. It’s been a busy time of appointments and classes all to do with Frank’s new diagnosis of diabetes. Life is settling back to normal again (the new normal), though, and I’ve found the time for some knitting-pattern writing and some painting.
The half-a-sock on the left is something I’ve been working on with only a little enthusiasm as the weather gets warmer and warmer. Knit in sport-weight yarn, it really is more of a fall and winter sock, and in summer my knitting fancy tends to turn to lacy shawls and scarves. At any rate, there’s very little left to do, and virtually no figuring out of things because the foot will be a very standard heel-flap, rounded toe, ribbed foot. If I can muster up the wanna-do-it-ivity, the pattern should be ready for posting sometime next week. I suppose it might be timely for my southern hemisphere readers, but I doubt anyone around here needs it any time soon!

"Early Morning", 5 x 7" acrylic on board
This morning I woke up around 4:30 (not unusual for me in the summertime), had a cup of coffee and some cereal, and then, perhaps because it was still early, I felt inspired to do a little painting (it’s only 5 by 7 inches) of a sunrise over a body of water. To me, this looks like a sunrise when most of the sky is covered with clouds. Frank thought it was the moon peeping through some nighttime clouds. Honestly, some people! ;) In any case, I’ve titled it “Early Morning” so there’s no room for doubt. Of course, the more I look at it, the more it looks like the moon peeping through nighttime clouds…. Hmmmmmm.
