turtle love and socks

Let's start with an alert today. Love is in the air, at least if you are a turtle in Rhode Island so please be careful as you roll along our highways and byways. Our turtle friends are criss-crossing to lay their eggs and head back to the water and, as we know, they're none too quick about it!
Now for knitting news. My feather and fan socks are frogged to nonexistence. Seems the lace is much smaller than stockinette or ribbing and didn't fit over my heel. Boo Hoo for me. I think I'll work on the sweater for Fran instead and ponder my next sock a bit more. Also looking for a pattern to do for my granddaughter (I just love the sound of that) for this fall and winter. Of course now that I've seen Cindy's drop stitch tee I'm leaning that way too.......
One of the lists had a contest for colorway suggestions and though I wasn't able to access their site properly so couldn't enter the contest, it did whet my appetite for dyeing and I think I'll do some today.
Also, I'm determined to finish a lace project if it kills me!!!! I think the trick is to only do that when I have time alone to concentrate in a relaxed way. I may fix a spot on the front porch where I can watch my hummingbird pals and knit in peace. Wishing you peaceful knitting... su
