Wednesdays Are For Knitting

April 8, 2015 By Carole

There is knitting going on in these parts.

I can’t really show it to you, though.

There is a pair of socks that are a birthday present. The birthday has come and gone but still, I persist and they will be gifted when I am finished.

There is another pair of socks and they are also a birthday present. This birthday is still a few months away so I should be finished in plenty of time. Of course, that means I can’t show you these either.

There is a shawl. It’s a mystery shawl, however, and I don’t want to spoil it for anyone so I’m not comfortable posting a progress photo.

What’s a knitter to do when faced with a situation like this?

Post a photo of a cocktail, of course.

    ah, of course!! I’m hoping to get some sock mojo back soon. Really miss having an easy, portable project…and a drawerful of handknit socks!

    I’m looking forward to the next clue, although clue 1 is the only clue I’ll have finished on time. That cocktail looks delicious!!

    Your cocktail photo is a perfect substitute for knitting that you can’t show, in fact, maybe you should try to enjoy lots of cocktails so you always have a backlog of photos to choose from!

    This may seem like a silly question, but how do you figure out the size of socks that are gifts?

It’s the last night of vacation, I go back to wo It’s the last night of vacation, I go back to work tomorrow. It’s been fab, I must say. One week in Maine and one week at home is perfect. I read 7 books and had, well, more cocktails than that. 🤣 We’re having our usual snacks on the deck, that sterling silver canoe that I bought in Camden, ME is the star of the tray. Okay, maybe the cheese from @thelostkitchen, too, because it’s perfectly stinky and utterly delicious. Cheers to a vacation well spent! #vacationisover #cocktailhourathome #martinitime #cheeseandcrackers #silvercanoe #cheesetray
