i am so mad at myself; i put these pictures in completely bass-ackwards, as grandma thomas used to say. now i have to talk about things out of the order i thought about them in, if that makes any sense. these shoes were supposed to be towards the last. leslie would say they are very granola, but they are super comfortable for work plus i feel like they might be exercising my calves.
here is the final product of all my effort to make cute socks to fit a newborn who may (probably will) have very skinny ankles. these should stay on little lily's feet even if she kicks a lot.
this is a work in progress for maren. i am sewing in the sleeves which, you can't tell from this shot, are three quarter length. i need to block it and then it will be ready to wear at easter time.
this is a book i am anxious to read, but haven't started yet because i have been too busy and now expect to remain busy for the foreseeable future. when will i have time for this?
this is wheat sprouting. i am going to make my favorite bread this weekend.
more granola shoes and some hand knit socks. the main yarn is called 'sockotta' and it is made in italy of wool, cotton and nylon. the lime green yarn is made of bamboo and feels silky. these are wonderful socks and feel great.
one thing i found out is that it's quite difficult to take good shots of your own feet, but i wanted to get a side view of the footwear (and my thoroughly exercised calf).
i knitted the toes, heels and cuff all in the contrasting color.
dennis at breakfast this morning, not feeling like having his picture taken.
we woke up to a skiff of snow this morning, but it is all gone now.
i have been thinking about a.a.'s list-making strategy for getting things done and since i have lots of things to do today i thought i'd make a list here on my post to see if it will make me more productive:
scriptures (already done), exercise, dishes (already done), make cookies to take to people, shower, pay some bills, buy pea seed and soak, start sprouting wheat (already done), call marie about visiting teaching, go visiting teaching, fold clothes on floor of closet and in dryer, make a shopping list, make a list of things i want to get done on saturday with tenny, make new post (in progress), call cynthia grant to see if she's home so i can take something to her, talk to margaret, go to orangeville relief society dinner at six-thirty, go to relief society meeting at seven-thirty.
whooee, i'll be surprised if i get all that done and i still have the feeling i've left stuff out, and there's no reading, knitting or napping on that list! yikes!

I love your granola shoes. If they are comfortable who care what they look like and I think they look sporty. I was amazed at your list. I counted seventeen things for you to do today. What kind of cookies will you bake? How do you get to go to Relief Society events in one evening? Lily will be so happy with her little lavender socklets. They are so cute and comfy. Did you get a large chunk of jobs done today. I'm awed by your list and I can see you getting it all done.
My gosh! What's next, a Subura, moving to Moab and vegetarianism? I kind of like the green granola shoes though. I know you got them online but where?
I have the same pair of granola shoes, (the first ones) I think they are comfy and they are handy when floating a good river. Again i'm impressed with your knitting skills and I look forward to putting those darling little sockins on Miss Lilly. The cute purple flowers are so sweet! Thanks for making them. I also really like the picture of you with your leg up on your bathroom counter. It's one good lookin' leg!
Lizzy will never be a vegetarian. Did you see the pan of frying bacon for Dennis's breakfast? And I don't think there were any visitors. You do seem as though you are on the verge of something though. You seem way too energetic for me. I can't even look at your knitting without getting sleepy and wanting to put on your warm socks, eat some of your sprouted wheat bread and nod off. Geez!
