Spring has finally arrived here in the mountains of New Hampshire…yay!
In typical Northern NH fashion we jumped from a proglonged winter right into summer with temps last week teasing 90 degrees and very humid. Today however was a treat, for me any ways….daytime temps in the upper 60's with a warm, dry wind….definitely my favorite kind of weather for sure!
So….even though I finished these socks weeks ago they sat in a corner patiently waiting for their picture day to come. Finally on this beautiful day Courtney and I took advantage of the sunny weather to take a few pictures in the garden. Yes….doesn't that lettuce look look good…mmm….
I have to tell you….these Hayrick socks were the fastest socks I have EVER knit. I think I had the pair completed in less than 5 days which is an all time record for me.
It is a FABULOUS pattern! This pattern is one of my most favorites to knit, along with Tessarae. The pattern is easy to memorize and the short repeats makes it move along quickly. I love it. 🙂
I am so happy that we are now having warm, sunny days!
Enjoy your weekend!
Greens! Love that. I can’t do a SOCK in a month. Your needles were blazing.

Lovely socks, Kim! I have that pattern but haven’t tried it yet. Must finish my Tessarae’s first (one down).
I’m with you on the weather – give me cool, sunny 60’s (or even 70’s but that’s it) any day!!
Your garden looks lovely.

Lovely socks! I love the look of a short row heel. Too bad my feet don’t like them.
