I finished the Vine Lace Socks. I think they turned out very well and I’m going to wear them a lot. I think they fit the best of all the socks I’ve knit so far.
Oh…you want photos??
Pattern: Vine Lace Socks - From theknitter.com SOM Club
Yarn: Plymouth Sockotta - the one with cotton
Needles: Size 1 KnitPicks Harmony DPNS
Oh..I also finally got a photo of the Ashford wheel I have borrowed.
Isn’t she pretty? I like spinning on her too. I did the Ravelry yarn in the post below on her.
Ok..my family has a new hobby. We’ve discovered Letterboxing. We got the stamp carving material yesterday and spent the evening carving our stamps.
The stamps left to right BikerChick, Geebaloo, KnitSteph, TheLiam, TheTopher and a sock stamp that I carved for a postal letterbox.
We went out today on a hunt for some local letterboxes. We found FOUR and had a great time. It was a beautiful day and wonderful for getting outside. I made a slideshow of some of the photos that I took, but if you’d like to view the photos individually they are in an album over in my photobucket.
Enjoy!

Too cool Steph!! The socks and stamps look awesome. I know my DH wants to do the cache-lode aka letterbox also, but it is WAAAY cold for me.

Whoa, what a cool thing! There’s a fair amount in our neighborhood too, it reminds me of geocaching, but no fancy gps required. What a neat thing!
(cute stamps! )

Kim- What’s cool is that they’ll be there when it’s warmer. We just happened to have a really pretty day in the mid 50’s so it was nice to go out.
You should try it!

Wendy - When I found it (via Lime n Violet) I knew it would be fun. It was even fun carving the stamps. They’re not great, but they’re pretty good and we had a blast. You should head out and find some yourself. Its a nice way to get out of the house and get active. My kids had a blast..your doggies would love it!
