And a contest! Details about that after the pictures.
Even though the weather was grey and drizzly this weekend (how quickly weather changes in Portland!) we spent a lot of time outside. Here are some pretties from the weekend.
We went to the park and there were already lots of leaves on the ground. It really is feeling like autumn. I want some more sunny days!
Did you know that winged seeds are called samaras?’ I love this cluster of them.
I saw this tree while walking in our neighborhood. I don’t know what it is but I think the fruits hanging down are really pretty.
This is a volunteer plant growing in our front yard. It’s probably a pumpkin but I’ll have to wait a while longer to find out for sure. I like mysteries!
Climbing the steps back home. I do love nasturtiums.
Finally some knitting to show! I’ve mostly knit for the baby this summer but these are Mike’s socks! They’re his first pair of handknit socks and I think they’re a hit. They’re basic toe-up socks with a heel flap and 2×2 ribbing up top. The yarn is Regia 4-ply and the color is Patch Antik #5759.
So the contest. The lovely Vanessa of Designs by Vanessa is hosting a contest on her blog and the prize is a coffee sweater from my etsy shop! So go on over, check out her blog and enter to win!
Hopefully I’ll have some more knitting pictures soon. I hope you’re all having a nice Monday!
Lovely socks!
Casey–too funny, but I have those exact socks! I bought the same Regia color & used the same basic pattern. I love them, so I’m sure Mike loves his, too.
