More Socks

Yes, the socks are still a thing around here.  These are the Feather Vane Socks, the second pattern in The Handmade Sock Society.  I'm knitting them in Malabrigo Ultimate Sock in Rosalinda.  As you can see in the photo, the socks are only patterned on the front.  The back of the leg (and foot) are stockinette.  It's a nice mix of patterning that I have to pay attention to and auto pilot knitting.

Little Obi dog continues to grow.  He's three months old now and he's learned a lot.  There's still a lot more to learn, but we're all getting there together.  The heat this week is crazy and that's affected how much time he can spend outside.  (I know, it's Texas, it's summer, but this kind of heat doesn't happen in June, it's more common in August.)  I made him some doggy popsicles last night to go into one of his toys.  We also keep at least one of his Kong toys in the freezer to help him cool down.  Of course he's also teething right now so I'm sure the cold feels good on his teeth and gums.

Mr. Noodle still refuses to lay down the law.  He's too sweet for his own good.  We've been teaching Obi to sit when he sees the kitty, but it's a work in progress.  He gets excited when he sees The Noodle and Sit is the last thing on his mind!
