New Socks


These socks are for M. She picked out the yarn at Lofty Lou's in Placerville. We were both surprised at how different the knitted sock looks from the yarn in the skein since we didn't expect it to be so stripey. I was hoping it would look just like the skein with little splotches of colors. It is knitting up very fast - I started the first sock last Friday. The yarn is Sockotta, Color 6063.

The workmen are still here working on the windows, but at least the interiors of the two bedrooms are done, which means we can set the furniture back up. While they have been working today, I made regular basil pesto. I also tried making sundried-tomato pesto and it turned out very well. Now my freezer is almost full of pesto and vegetables.
