The Burrow Socks...finally

The Burrow Socks


Pattern: Toe-up with Judy's magic cast-on and Wendy's gusset heel
yarn: MacKintosh Yarns The Burrow

I am not a fan of the heel. It doesn't fit me very well; it's loose behind the ankle. They don't fit on my sock blocker very well either.


Speaking of sock blockers...

I got some new ones with hedgehogs! They are graciously modeled by a finished Aurelie sock. One of my roommates had a couple hedgehogs and they were adorable if not pettable.



I am on the gusset of the second Aurelie sock and with the boss gone I can get a little knitting done at work when I have downtime between washes of the embryos I am staining.





I made zucchini bread last night with my gigantic zucchini I picked up at the farmers' market this past weekend. I made a double batch of bread and I still had more than enough to grill for dinner. I am still working on the eggplant parmesan as well as the melon from the farmers' market. I think I still have a blueberry scone left, too! That's a lot of food for two people.

Or three. I will be over and ready to eat tomorrow. I will also be bringing green beans. What I thought was corn was actually green beans, so there's some beans that need to be eaten.

Seriously, could that hedgehog be any cuter?

You should see the little legs, which are covered by the sock. A better pic is here.
