There were two in the bed last night

Two extras, that is!
When I abandoned the repeats on tv and hied me to the bedroom, I found DD#1 asleep in the middle - not surprising, other than I thought she'd already gone back to her own bed an hour earlier. The second occupant, however, normally sleeps outside - my lovely dog Holly (thankfully recently washed) had opened the gauze sliding door and come a-wandering in, trotted around the bed a couple of times (judging by the straw mulching there this morning), then discovered a convenient pile of clothes from which to launch herself onto the bed, where she snuggled up on my side, against my pillow, beside the sleeping DD. I gently encouraged (ie picked up and carried) Holly outside, and requested that the MOMD put DD#1 in her bed. Some turning of pillow and brushing of linen later (girl and dog were on top, not actually under the sheets, thankfully) I was able to hop in, fondly recalling scenes from Holly's puppyhood, when she would nest in the basket of (dirty) washing, and find smelly socks to chew on...

But that's not why you're here, is it?

You want pictures!!! (Well, Tink does, at least :D )

Southern Summer of Socks 07~08

Today is the Official Start to the Southern Summer of Socks 07~08!! A six month sockyarn stash- slimming effort, and an opportunity to try out new designs and techniques (since I've only managed to finish one pair of adult-sized socks so far, I'm not lacking for choices!)

Therefore, I give you:

My Personal Sock Challenge

Plans for SSS
  • Mermaid’s socks {Cool Socks, Warm Feet (L. Neatby)} in a Fiery Heirloom Jigsaw
  • Marietta’s Rib socks {Cool Socks, Warm Feet (L. Neatby)} in Funky pink/green/red/blue/white Heirloom Jigsaw
  • Plain socks in Cottage Garden Patonyle
  • Ripple Weave socks {Vogue, Fall 2006} in a heathered dark HeirloomArgyle
  • Colourwork socks {pattern not yet chosen} in variegated blue Patonyle and navy Patonyle
  • Finish WIP socks!
*As a bonus, I'd love to design and make myself a pair of slippers using the Turkish patterns in Simply Socks (Anna Zilboorg).

**Every pair of socks will use something new to me in terms of design and/or techniques.

***Most socks will be for me.
