Today, I’m blogging about the little things I love about my Nissan Leaf over on the Drivers Blog.

Sydney and I went for a walk with a sock (raveled here). Observe a Chrysanthemum sock in our cilantro!


and the sock in the elusive Texas Thistles!

I really like this pattern. It is not terribly complicated, but looks terribly complicated….my favorite. I’m already dreaming about another pair of Chrysanthemums (pattern by Hunter Hammersen).

Ps. If you’re a praying type of folk, I’d really appreciate you praying for Sydney. She’s not feeling well at all just now and we’d love to have her back to her old self. Thank you!!!

Syd and I went for a walk in the wildflowers to take pictures of knitting. The pattern is Chrysanthemum Frutescens socks by Hunter Hammersen.

While taking the first pictures, I was attacked by small biting flies. I quickly finished and moved on….after standing there and letting them bite me so I could get the shot I wanted. Yes, I’m aware that makes me sound nuts.


I moved on to the white flowers, unwrapping yarn from the cake and tossing the sock blocker into the flowers like a boomerang. It took a few tries, but eventually, I won my odd carnival game.


There is a good chance my neighbors agree with the assessment of me being a bit off. I did, after all, use the free cake to tie the sock to the fence at one point for a pic of the sock with the super tall Texas thistles, but that one didn’t really turn out. See?
