sophy's knits, notes, etc.

Some weeks ago, we planted "eureka" lemon trees to replace the dead and rotted tree stumps in front of our house. what a difference it makes. one of the trees is already flourishing with fruit and even some pretty little flowers.

a fallen and unripe eureka lemon... which immediately made me think of a project long on-the-shelf.

as a result, i started my bracken sweater vest again -- and finished it. at last. course, i still haven't blocked it yet. and i don't know what buttons to use for it!

winter in san francisco means rain. i love the sound of rain pouring down. now we know where the leaks in the roof are located and that the front steps are slippery when wet.

waiting for the bus one rainy morning.

getting to work and back was frustrating, expensive, and somewhat painful last week due to a soccer injury. but, the orthopedist assured me that it was nothing more than a "classic" sprain and i'm already walking about without crutches. this does mean, however, that i am out of soccer for almost an entire season.

i am in insane stashbusting mode. the winter is settling in, and adam says my feet are cold. thus, the 3-ish skeins of Noro Silk Garden that have sat on the self for some time are fast becoming socklets with the help of size 7 dpns. i also finished a pretty hat in the Malabrigo yarn i bought at stitches west last year. more on these projects and the sweater vest, soon.

we've booked our flights to Philly for early December. it'll be the usual whirlwind of family visits and holiday gatherings -- who wants to meet and knit together?

happy knitting!
