Progress has been slow at best these past couple of weeks.
But there has been progress on the second Sedona sock!
The heel has been turned and the gusset decreases are nearly completed.
We are off to the beach for our anniversary! Road trips are always good for making progress on one's projects!
I hope you all have a grand weekend! See you on the flip side!

The cool mornings, tendrils of fog over the fields, shorter days and harvest moons all tell me that autumn is around the corner.
The countdowner on the blog supports this as fact.
But the irrefutable evidence that autumn is around the corner is the return of the pumpkin spice latte.
Oh...you want to know more about this lovely skein do you?!
It's a bit of stash from SS09. A lovely acquisition from Hazel Knits. I had a blast chatting with Wendee and Megann at the booth.
It was a special skein...nameless even.
I believe it's just been dubbed 'PSL'! I hope Wendee doesn't mind! :)
My mom, sister and I went to Canby (home of the flock and fiber festival) for the annual dahlia festival and to peruse the fields last weekend. I think we made it down a dozen rows of one aisle of 40 acres. Yep. Forty acres.
We didn't even cover the tip of the proverbial iceberg!
I hope these sunny, warm images help console those mourning the close of summer. I'm really trying to hold in my exuberation for the fall...I can't last much longer...there are less than 18 days remaining. Don't expect miracles.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and for those celebrating it a fantastic Labor day holiday!
See you back on the flip side!
Departing summer hath assumed
An aspect tenderly illumed,
The gentlest look of spring;
That calls from yonder leafy shade
Unfaded, yet prepared to fade,
A timely carolling.

Three down. Three to go.
Happy September! I will try to hold in my elation for the impending autumn season for a wee bit longer...be forewarned...I could just burst with yippy skippyness.
Just sayin'.
I left work a wee bit early to hook up in the city with Mr. NK.
Yep...a foodie hook up!
Of course there was a wee bit of yarn that made its way into the picture.
Satiated and content, we returned home.
What a way to adjourn the week and commence the weekend!
I hope your weekend is full of all that delights you!!
Sharing food with another human being is an intimate act that should not be indulged in lightly.

the cupcake was carrot cake with buttercream frosting from Bridgeport pub and bakery...just in case you were wondering! :)
The Sedona socks are coming right along. The first one is finished and the second one is on its way!
Alas, I believe we're at our last bloom of the season for our roses.
Not yet the last rose of summer...but the time is near.
I know you don't want to hear it, but fall is truly in the air. The mornings are crisp and dewy...a sure sign of the transition from summer to autumn!
These last evenings of summer will be cherished.

It was farmer's market day at work. Fresh veggies galore!
After the drizzle this morning, we had a beautiful evening...perfect for the official FO photoshoot of the RSC July 'In Season' socks.
Check out the Hatch Chilis that a friend brought back for me from a recent trip to Texas. They're in season now, too!!
You can read more about the mods to these socks here and here. They're a quick and satisying knit. I love, love, love the yarn and really just couldn't resist show casing it with these luscious veggies one last time!
It wouldn't be a farmer's market post without the obligatory egg shot, would it?
