Curiously Intertwined

Friday, February 7, 2025

The backyard was a hive of activity today.

There were lots of birds.

The squirrels were exceptionally busy

and I saw my first chipmunk in a while.

Socks and Rubik's Cubes.

Both socks are done.

All ends are woven in and I have done a soak with a wool wash.

The color bled a little but after several rinses the bleeding stopped.

The pair is currently drying on sock blockers.

I can report that I can already tell that they are so soft.

I can't wait to try them on post blocking.

Tonight's amazing sky.

Also, this What is it? was indeed one of the charts generated

when photos of my retina are taken at each visit to the retina specialist.

The red/orange spots are not a good sign.

Treatment was necessary.

You're on a roll, Joanne.

I'm taking the slow start approach to changing the colors

for the upcoming holiday.

We're finding more things in the garage that we had forgotten about.

It's kind of funny that Strawberry Shortcake

looks a bit annoyed here

because of the lock of hair hanging on her forehead

looking like an angry eyebrow.

First sock done except the kitchener stitch finish

and weaving in ends.

The second sock isn't far behind.

It only needs the small white stripe, the toe

and the same finishing touches.

As you can see, I chose the purple for the heel and toe accent color.

I asked you what color you thought I had picked

for the accent color in this post.

Sorry, Scott, I did pick the purple

and didn't have too much trouble with its darkness.
