Socks




I finished these on my vacation trip to Maryland last month (can you believe it's September already?!?!).

I made these shorter than the original pattern called for.

The pattern is Holly's Socks and I found it at Knitting Pattern Central.


I'm a little late with posting these pics. Doug had a work trip to Maryland and I tagged along for the vacation (plenty of pool time at Mom's and getting to see the kids and kidlets too). It was the end of July and first 2 weeks of August when we went. It was the first time the 18 yr old Douglas was left alone too.

Oh well, as we were packing to go, Spunky wanted to be sure my suitcase was adequate before I went. He didn't even blink when I took the pics.

Moms butterfly bush was just loaded with butterflies. They were all gorgeous. Here are just a few of the visitors she had.
