The blue socks are done-I don't know why I call them faux-cabled
because it does have cables.
I guess it is because you don't use a cable needle-just knit the left stitch before the right one and take them both off at the same time! Easy! These are knit in Stroll Manatee Tonal.
64 sts on #1 needles.
I played with some zentangle drawing for a bookmark.
It is indeed very relaxing to play with the different patterns.
Remember the replacement orchid I bought after trying to repot the three I used to have? Well, it is blooming! I am so proud of its efforts to be healthy again! It was pretty pitiful when I bought it from the 1/2 off table!
It is an incredibly colored bloom!

Now those are such pretty socks! And it looks cabled to me... a non-clever-knitter.... The orchid is just beautiful! xx
ReplyDeleteThe socks are beautiful and I appreciate the work all of those cables were. They are perfect though, and worth it. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe drawing is gorgeous to. We just watched a video of Yosemite National Park and saw a place where literally hundreds if not thousands, of those little rock piles were placed. It was amazing to see. I can't believe they haven't been knocked over through weather and people visiting.
Have a great Tuesday!

Beautiful socks. Wonderful doodle, and you know I love the orchid. It's funny, the one I bought on clearance because it was half dead is doing way better than the ones I paid full price for.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the sock finish!
ReplyDeleteI love doing Zentangle too. It's very relaxing. Your drawing reminds me of the stitching projects I just ordered. Hint: think stacks.
“Calm” is the perfect title for this post. The soft, blue color of the socks, the meditative drawing, and the beautiful bloom.
ReplyDeleteThat orchid is a BEAUTIFUL color. All mine are done blooming for the season. Hoping to get blooms again next winter.
ReplyDeleteChrisknits-Everything is lovely! That orchid is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteNice work on the pretty socks and the amazing orchid! I also love the cairn bookmark. You are so creative!
