First and foremost, I must rectify my neglect from yesterday (even though I wasn’t called on it). The cat photos were taken by my brother, Thomas, on his new digital camera. He’s become a really good photographer. I meant to give him photo credits, but then I forgot. You can’t trust a big sister with anything. Thanks, Thomas!<\/p>\n

I have found out that at least six<\/big><\/b> people read my blog! OK, one is M, and he reads it because as soon as I publish a new post I bring it to him on my MacBookPro and say (shoving the computer in his face) “Read my new post!” And, yes, my mom also reads my blog; she did teach me to knit, so it would look pretty bad if she didn’t read it. Plus she’s a former high school English teacher. She probably fears I’ll give her a pop quiz on blog content during one of our weekly phone conversations. But four other<\/i> people, who I am not related to legally in any<\/i> way read my blog. Two even have me bookmarked<\/b>. So, I better get to the knitting stuff before all of you give me up as a lost cause.<\/p>\n

I am almost done with my potluck brights socks<\/a>. This means I may now officially<\/i> start thinking about the next pair to knit. And herein lies my difficulty: I can’t decide. So, I shall leave it to any readers who care to comment. I’ll give you two possibilities, and whichever gets the most votes, I’ll make first. As I also have gifts to knit, I am running low on time to knit socks for myself, so this is a weighty matter (to me anyway).<\/p>\n

Choice #1:
<\/a> <\/a>
The pattern is the Friday Harbour Socks from Knitting on the Road<\/i> by Nancy Bush, and the yarn is Fleece Artist Merino in the Hercules<\/i> colorway (color is more accurate in the second photo).<\/p>\n

Choice #2:
<\/a> <\/a>
The pattern is RPM from the Summer 2006 issue of Knitty<\/a>. The yarn is Cherry Tree Hill Potluck in blues\/purples. It is out of focus (tripod is on order, yay!), but the color looks good on my computer.<\/p>\n

So there you have it. Only YOU<\/big> can save me from indecision and cold toes. Don’t let my little toes suffer. They beg you to cast a vote.<\/p>\n

To put you in a beautiful frame of mind, here is the end of the sunset at our place today (it was even more gorgeous driving home from the grocery store when I didn’t have my camera, naturally).

Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
