In the garden

Sweet_autumn_clematis_9_19_05 Sweet_autumn_clematis_close Froggy_9_19_05 The sweet autumn clematis is coming into bloom just in time for the Harvest moon and the beginning of fall. Last night I looked for the Harvest moon but it was a bit too cloudy to see him. It should be clear tonight so perhaps I’ll catch a glimpse. This little froggy caught my attention yesterday while I was trying to get flower pictures. It’s not often I find froggy visitors in my garden.

Petticoat_heel_flap_and_turnDespite much ripping out, the heel flap and turn are done on the first petticoat sock. The pattern calls for a slip stitch heel flap but the slip location alternates from row to row so I wasn’t getting a nice chain stitch up the edge. I’m not sure if there was a mistake in the pattern or if it was operator error but I had to alter the beginning of a few rows slightly to get an edge I can pick up stitches from.

  1. Julie…the sock looks good. See if there is errata for the sock. Good luck and cannot wait to see when it’s finished.

  2. Kind of forgot about it, as I thought it was just me, but I had the same problem with the heel flap.

  3. Our Moon looked decidedly orangey for the last two nights..that sounds like I come from the planet Zog not the UK!
