More Socks

Apparently the sock hiatus is over.  There is another pair of socks on the needles!  These are the Seed Pod Socks, the third pattern from The Handmade Sock Society of 2023.  I'm knitting them in Emma's Practically Perfect Sock Yarn in the Mermaid Tavern colorway.  I've already finished the first sock and I'm about to start the pattern section in the second sock.  I did make a little change to the pattern section from the the way the pattern was written, but I left notes in the Ravelry project page about my changes.

We continue to bake in the heat around here.  It's too hot for little Obi dog to do much outside, but we've got a constant stream of Kongs and Pupsicle pops in the freezer (I've got the refillable freezer tray and we've been making our own).  They help keep him occupied and soothe his sore mouth from teething.  The other thing that's been a big teething help is frozen mini bagels.  I split them and froze them and just hand him half of one when his teeth are hurting.  Since bagels are a dense, chewy bread anyway, they feel good to chew from the frozen stage to the thawed stage.  Just watch the flavor of bagels - dogs can't have onions or raisins.  Obi is eating plain bagels with no complaints, but I'm watching for some blueberry mini bagels too!
