Lately when I post photos of my socks on blockers, some of you think that the end of the blocker peeping out from the top of the sock is a knitted on edging.

Nope! It’s my pretty red sock blocker, purchased at The Loopy Ewe.

See?

Lucy and Wildlife

And a couple of you commented wondering how Lucy slept through the brief encounter with the squirrel. Lucy was a good seven miles away from the squirrel!

I live on the 10th floor of a highrise condo. Lucy is an indoor-only kitty. It would be a very intrepid squirrel indeed that managed to show itself to Lucy! We do get birds landing on the windowsills from time to time. I have a large window in the living room:

Here’s the view from that window:

Lucy does go nutsy-cuckoo when a bird lands on the windowsill!

And she does sleep a lot:

She is particularly tired today because she spent a good part of last night waking me up to play with her.

New Sock

The yarn is ShibuiKnits Sock in “periwinkle.”

Newsflash!

The KnitNation website for the event in London next July has today been updated with the class choices. Check it out! I believe that registration opens on December 1.
