What do you do on vacation when it’s 105, with spikes to
…you laze around and knit, with a cool drink within reach, gathered around the ol’ crawdad bucket filled with icy water! (sans crawdads and well-rinsed, of course)
That’s sis on the left with her back to us, then (going clockwise) me, Lilly (reading, silly girl doesn’t knit!), my mom, and Kaity!
Ah, this is the life :o) And, look – it led to a finished pair of footies!
Pattern: none, basic 56 stitch, toe up, short row heel (using Kaity’s method), done magic loop.
Yarn: Socks That Rock, mediumweight in “Pebbles”
Needles: Addi turbo lace size 3, 47″

Whew! Hooooot. I did not know it was that roasting out there still. So glad you are all OK!
Your anklets are beautiful 🙂
Your anklets look terrific! That’s how I’m going to knit my next pair of socks. Thanks for the link to Kaity’s method.
Looking good! I’ll have to check out Kaity’s method because I was almost done in by the toe of the one I started. I did get up past the heel, but stopped there because the yarn was too ugly to go on. Your’s inspire me to give another try.
oooh, sitting around with feet in ice water sounds like a GREAT way to relax in such weather! i love the footies too. if you don’t mind me asking, what size foot are you? i’m trying to find that “magic number” of stitches for my size… perhaps 56 stitch?
Now, that’s hot! Ugh!
I love that photo of all of your feet in the ice bucket. Great memories!
Those socks are cute! What a fun idea to knit and cool off at the same time!… well sort of :O) Love the bucket!
Nice socks! Your knitting circle looks like fun. 112 degrees!! A bucket of ice water for the feet sounds perfect.
Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. I enjoy hearing from you.
I’d be sitting in that crawdad bucket! Pretty ingenious, Lynda!
Great sockage! :o)
112!?!?!?! Did the wool felt in your hands? Cute footsies.
Love the crawdad bucket. I’d say it’s a good thing you skipped the crawdads…too hot for that! I guess I shouldn’t complain about 95, but really, it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity…
And cute footies!
Love that pic!!
I think I could only knit with my feet in ice water at those temps!!!
Don’t you just love footies in the summer? Not only are they appropriate for our climate, but they are a great quick knit. Beautifully done!
