Make Hay While the Sun Shines

Knitting (and blogging) has been relegated to the back seat recently and other work on the farm has come to the fore.

3 fields of hay have been cut. The first filed, nearest in the picture, took a rainfall after the cutting, but the winds blow strong over these fields and it seems the hay dried as quickly as it got wet.

There are still two fields to cut and rain in the forecast two days hence. Always a nail biter!

A few socks have managed to appear on the sock machine:

These pair are both size Medium, knit with the 54 cylinder on the Legare 400.

Both are in various combinations of Koigu KPPPM 100% premium merino fingering weight. I reinforce the heels and toes with Woolly Nylon.

These heart designs are very special! Glad to see you are still cranking out socks every chance you get... want to trade weather with CA for a few days? This will hopefully be our only stretch of heat wave and end soon...
