September in Boston Socks

My first finished project this year is a pair of socks I started last year. 

If you go to my daily blog ( curiouslyintertwined) and click the label Yarn or Socks 

you can find in progress pictures. 

Pattern: September Chart from Cuff Club Vol. 2 by Summer Lee Knits 

Yarn: Boston sock yarn from Fiber Hustle purchased at Flock in 2024 (main)

Stroll from Knit Picks in Buoy (heel and toe) 

 Unidentified mini skein (cuff) 

Other notes: I always use a heel flap heel because I can lengthen the flap 

which creates a larger gusset to accommodate my high instep.

 

Busy Backyard

The backyard has been a busy place lately. 

I finally decided which of today's photos to post on the 365 day blog, 

Curiously Intertwined, but couldn't pass up posting these also.

I took these with my 75-300mm zoom lens. 

 

Pleasant Walks

I had a hard time deciding which of two pictures to post today 

on Curiously Intertwined, 

so I posted one there and I'm posting this one here. 

Here's to pleasant walks and pretty pictures.

 

Curls Done the Old-Fashioned Way

GB#2 let me put her hair in rags last night. 

She slept in them with a scarf on her head to keep them from falling out. 

This morning we took the rags out carefully. 

Her head was covered with ringlets galore. 

She styled it herself and was such a happy girl.

 

Love at 90

Earlier this week Great Grandpa H was able to visit Grandma Boo inside 

for the first time in a long while. 

He was not supposed to touch her, but he did anyway. 

He was so happy to hold her hand. 

This is love at 90.

 

The One About a Quilt

I'm finally posting about that quilt.

Yesterday we got my quilt hanging system in place.

Today there was enough light to go out and get some pictures. 

It was so fun to work on but took me a very long time to get done. 

The pattern is a free pattern designed by Tula Pink called Bird Seed 

and is available from the Bernina blog. 

I used mostly Anna Maria Horner fabrics

 with some solids and fabrics from my stash thrown in. 

Below are way too many close-ups I hope you'll enjoy. 

I quilted all the gray background the same and the triangles are all the same as well. 

I quilted each seed of the same color with a different design. 

If you've made it to the end, thanks. 

Now I need to blog about the other two quilts

 that I finished before this one that got me back to quilting. 

See you soon.

 

Birthdays and Babies

It's hard to believe GB#4 is six today. 

We celebrated yesterday at a new-to-us park. 

It was so good to see this little family 

that will soon be getting a little bit bigger.
