Last weekend, Cindy and I met and went to the World’s Smallest Craft show, which included Rachel’s Dyeabolical Yarn. Of course we each came away with some yarn, need you ask?
New yarn
Since I had recently (Friday night) finished a pair of socks to wear on Saturday, 
I had a set of lonesome sock needles, so it didn’t take long for me to wind a skein of yarn and start a new sock. Due to time in the car, it’s coming along quite quickly.
Dyeabolical Merino Sock; color, Themyscira.
Some very nice alpaca also followed me home, and I’ve been playing with a different shaping. I’m not sure yet if this is going to do what I want it to, but time will tell. I have found that I need to pay attention each time the pattern gets wider.
After our yarn stops, we had lunch and did a few more things, before we had to head for home (sadly much too soon!), but with plans for more fun at a later date.
So far we’ve escaped the frost, and things are still growing. Since it cooled off a bit and rained, there are new tomatoes on the plants, and I’m hoping that at least some of them will ripen. The flowers are also still blooming.
Nasturtiums & marigolds.
Toby’s usually pretty camera-shy, but I caught him in mid-run the other day (he may have 1 foot on the ground). 🙂
High-speed Toby.

I really like the new sock. Knitting is one of the reasons I don’t do our highway driving. That and we get there way faster when DH drives, and if I’m knitting I can’t watch the speedometer. Win-win.
Nice picture of Toby! How old?
