Eye Candy Friday

April 6, 2007 By Carole

lily.jpg

I made it to the heel flap on sock two by the time I went to bed last night at midnight. I got up this morning at 6 AM only to find that my opponent had finished her socks. I did my best but I’m out of Sock Madness.

The good news is that now I can relax and enjoy the holiday weekend. There will be cooking and baking and decorating and churching and dining with the kids.

Pick the one you like: Happy Easter, Happy Passover, Happy Weekend.

    I almost glad you’re out. Last night you were in my dream knitting like a mad woman and I was all caught up in it too. It felt like a harried, crazy dream and all we were doing was knitting!

    Happy Easter, Carole! That lily is gorgeous. All the ones we have up here are pretty downtrodden-looking. 🙂

  17. Manise says

    April 6, 2007 at 9:10 am

    Oh, man! I’m sorry to hear you got eliminated. She must have knit all night! You’re still a Sock Goddess in my eyes! Now you can relax and enjoy Easter. Happy Easter!

    Do’h! I’m so sorry. I should have read this post first.

    Oh well you get all the cool patterns. This pattern is awesome. As was the second one. Can’t wait for the release. *drool*

    Have a lovely weekend and enjoy your stress free knitting. 😀 I wouldn’t have made it as far as you did. I’d have been crying in the corner from the stress on day one. *L*

    Yay! Well, I’m sorry, but also happy — or maybe more like relieved.

    Have a great weekend, Carole. What’s for Easter dinner? ; )

  36. Terri Lynn says

    April 6, 2007 at 9:40 pm

    I never liked the word “happy” it sounds so oriental. I always like “joyous”

  37. Terri Lynn says

    April 6, 2007 at 9:42 pm

    or “joy filled”

  38. Lucia says

    April 6, 2007 at 10:52 pm

    You did well, and you have 2 3/4 pairs of socks, so you’re a winner (but we knew that).

    Can I have all three?

  39. Teyani says

    April 7, 2007 at 10:15 pm

    Happy Easter! There’s still something about biting off protruding parts of chocolate things that remains long after childhood has gone away 😉

    Brutal competition. I’m still impressed with your sock knitting prowess! Enjoy your weekend!

I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 year I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 years now (I started before the pandemic, ironically enough) and this might just be one of my best loaves. The dough was sluggish yesterday and not ready to be proofed when I went to bed so I stuck the plastic bucket in the fridge and hoped for the best. Turns out the overnight bulk fermentation resulted in a beautiful, bouncy dough. I can’t wait to cut into it and check out the crumb but it’s still cooling down. #sourdoughbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest #breadbaker
