Curiously Intertwined

Monday, November 2, 2026

My flower socks are done

with the exception of weaving in ends and blocking.

I will get a good photo once that is done.

In the mean time I am starting the next pair.

To prepare I have wound all the yarn

and put the appropriate tassel on the knitting bag.

It's time to get ready for the next holiday.

It's Halloween.

GB#6 wore the cow costume I made for M when she was little.

I'm glad I thought of it this year.

It fit perfectly.

The trees are really showing off their fall colors these days.

Now if the temperature would just follow suit.

I've been second-guessing one of my color decisions

for the next pair of socks lately.

Today I decided to do the black and white test

to see if the contrast is acceptable.

Looking at the photo I took,

I think my initial choice will work.

Have you ever used this test for determining contrast?

I'm glad to see that some older buildings downtown

are getting facelifts instead of being torn down.

This one is currently getting all its windows replaced.

If you look closely,

you can see all the faces looking down on the street.

So happy to celebrate Fireball for another birthday.
