#socksonvacay2018

Final #socksonvacay2018 tally: 3.5 socks! Baby Dread Pirate was in my other finished sock pair picture, so I bribed him with my ball of yarn to sit in this one. (Swipe to see how that worked out for me...)

Steam powered #socksonvacay2018 ! We stopped by the steam clock but didn't stay for a whistle because the Dread Pirate fell asleep en route and the steam whistle seemed like a rude way to wake up. I stood too close and my glasses steamed up from the vents on the bottom.

No pool? No problem. Just flee through the beginning of a thunderstorm at lunch, then go back to the park in the afternoon to sit in the wet sand. Insta-beach vibes! Grandma's not worried about a bit of sand, so I got a bit of #socksonvacay2018 time in. Cast off coming soon!

#socksonvacay2018 at the beach yesterday. I actually got to knit at the beach because the baby Dread Pirate was fascinated by the seagulls and he sat quietly on the blanket watching them. He later very much enjoyed experiencing a warmer river beach where he could sit on a tiny sandbar and smoosh the wet sand. (Unlike Cannon Beach where he wanted out of the cold water ASAP!)

Bought needles on vacation so I could do one more round of #socksonvacay2018 before labour day. Here I'm knitting at the city pool where I spent my summers as a kid. The baby Dread Pirate turns out to also be a fan of the pool, so we've spent a lot of time splashing this visit!

Spent all day at the Twist fiber festival and got home to Ontario only to discover I left my sock needles in Oregon so I can't cast on the #socksonvacay2018 plan I had for tonight. If only I'd noticed this morning, it would have been easy to fix my problem! #knittingproblems #knittersofinstagram #fiber #ihadsuchplans (at TWIST festival de la fibre / fibre festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmrpBkmHYir/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xik0lnop2h1i

I was trying to take a finished object picture for #socksonvacay2018 but apparently someone else thought he'd be a better model, so this is what you get. :) Yarn: @knittedwit victory sock in Moduli Curve Pattern: @shannonsq 's Spare Time #knittersofinstagram #socksonvacay #knittedwit #yarn #knitting #sockknitting

Knitting around sleepy Dread Pirate. I promise that sock 2 for #socksonvacay2018 is happening on the other end of that line. #knittersofinstagram
