Almost and finally ....

The color of the self striping skien didn't exactly match up in width of stripes.

This caused me to be short of the blue colorway on second sock.

Therefore the toe on the second sock is pieced together with remaining yarn from sock one.

It doesn't bother me a bit.

LN seemed to like them when I sent her a picture so shortie socks have found a home.

Spring break is coming up so she can take them back to college with her.

Now what???

Hmmmm...........

Meanwhile last week finally....

The first lamb was born to one of our Border Leicester ewes.

A fat and sassy ewe lamb weighing in at 16# named Lily.

Hopefully the rest of our girls due over the next few weeks go as smoothly as this one did.

I saw her mom digging a nest in the straw.

I moved her into a jug and left her alone for 20-30 min.

I came out to a partially dry lamb trying to stand.

She walked on her front knees to the teat and latched on for quite awhile.

After her belly was full she finally stood and shook off.

"Guess I'm good", she seemed to say. 

End of weekend...

 means the finish of another set of  socks...

The self striping color is hard to see but a deep rainbow colorway I would say.

These picture is more accurate on color I believe.

I like the pattern , a k3p1 repeat. 

it keeps me occupied and interested more than a plain knit.

Therefore I finish faster ;}`

I rolled some yarn balls for the next pair but didn't cast on as it's sport weight and I don't know what size DPN I want to use.

Tomorrow or this week I'll play around with it and search patterns.

Friday me and Lil Miss A took a ride to the beach for lunch.

It's a 45-60 min trip south of me.

My truck needed a longer sustained mph trip to clean the exhaust.

Without LN around daily I do not take many longer than 20 min. trips like I have before.

No soccer, no 4-H, no field hockey, no college visits, etc, etc, etc.....

Makes me sad to think that.

Anyway me and Miss Sass went for a ride and lunch.

She decided she hates the beach and is afraid of the water.

Mind you this kid doesn't stay away from the waves any other time we have been.

I carry dry clothes with us for that reason.

I am guessing she was hangry!

She probably was tired to as she laid down at the place we ate till our fries came out.

She devoured them.

"Death fries"

French fries with bacon and cheese and  ranch dressing and bar-b-que sauce drizzled on top.

Worth the drive trust me.

The waves were exploding and the sea looked angry.

It still relaxes me no matter the weather and conditions.
