time to knit more socks

My daughter-in-law found a great bargain on sock yarn...trouble was, for her, she didn't want such fine yarn..she knew I'd be happy to adopt it and I am enjoying!  Thus far, I have created 1 pr for her, and am on a third pair for my husband.  I find socks the best knitting project for take-along knitting.

More  hay being mowed today!  The bales are slowly piling up and we're so hoping there will be a decent supply come time to feed the cows!  Last year was a major disappointment. 

below are the socks--knit in top-to-start-of toe, for added stay-up-ability!  hope he enjoys them!

hay is being baled!

after last year's disappointing hay harvest, it appears that this year we may actually get some put up for the cows to eat, come winter!  too soon to get overly excited but we are optimistic.

It is downright exciting to see my sons using the antique tractors they have worked on for so long and so hard, to bale hay!  And they're enjoying fully!

what a lovely day!

The sky is blue, with just a few rather decorative white clouds to add interest.  David is working on his rake and the old John Deere

and his dad is raking with the Brown.  I am enjoying the day, and knitting new woolen socks for the cold weather to come.  All is well with the world...at least our little corner of it.

Happy Mother's Day to Itsy Bitsy, shown here with her brand new daughter!

On the knitting front, sock #2 of the pair shown yesterday is nearly to the heel flap and will probably be finished either this evening or tomorrow morning

After a dreary morning and rainy noontime, we now are being treated to bright, warm sunshine!

Dreary Rainy Day!
Rather uninspiring out today, so watched a few movies on DVD ["Up Periscope" and "Operation Pacific], puttered around the house a bit, and just finished a double batch of fudge--to which I added a liberal dose of shredded coconut.

 

of course, to keep my hands busy while watching the movies, I worked on a pair of socks

after a long hiatus, hard to decide what to catch up with first.  lots and lots of precious new baby bovines, lots of knitting completed-mainly baby blankets for gifts, socks, always lots and lots of socks, and gingham potholders from my favorite pattern [from Frugalhaus] for my best friend from high school [yes, even  56 yrs  after we graduated, we're still buddies.
