Tuesday Things

Hello All,


Here's an updated picture of my sock in progress:




I tried to spread it out with my hand so you could see the pattern.  And...of course yesterday I said the pattern was Firefly.  Who knows what I was thinking?  The pattern is Dragonfly Socks - a free pattern on Ravelry.


My post yesterday also mentioned a new pattern I fell in love with that has yet to be released.  It's by Ambah Obrien and can be seen on her Instagram account https://www.instagram.com/p/Bjimjf6nw8i/?taken-by=ambahobrien





Picture from her Instagram page.


She has some other beautiful patterns, but this one I especially love - knit in linen (Shibui).


Last night was stinking hot (again).  When I got home Tyg was staring intently into the tiny little water feature we have and as I walked by something splashed!  After changing out of work clothes and fixing a cool beverage, Fletch and I went outside to sit on the patio.  Sure enough, there was a very small frog in the water.  It hopped up onto the rock at the edge of the feature, but before I could grab my phone to get a picture he hopped into a crack between two rocks.  I doubt my picture would have been very good anyway - he was a very dark green and so small...but cute!  Tyg was dreaming/hoping for frog legs for dinner, but luckily that did not happen!


We had a beautiful sunrise this a.m., but it is muggy already at 8:30 a.m.  Hoping the forecast thunderstorms will roll in this afternoon and help to break the oppressive feeling.


Happy Tuesday to you all!
