Syd and I went for a walk in the wildflowers to take pictures of knitting. The pattern is Chrysanthemum Frutescens socks by Hunter Hammersen.

While taking the first pictures, I was attacked by small biting flies. I quickly finished and moved on….after standing there and letting them bite me so I could get the shot I wanted. Yes, I’m aware that makes me sound nuts.


I moved on to the white flowers, unwrapping yarn from the cake and tossing the sock blocker into the flowers like a boomerang. It took a few tries, but eventually, I won my odd carnival game.


There is a good chance my neighbors agree with the assessment of me being a bit off. I did, after all, use the free cake to tie the sock to the fence at one point for a pic of the sock with the super tall Texas thistles, but that one didn’t really turn out. See?
