Yay! Done!

A bit late for the knit-along deadline but that's okay. These socks came out really well once I'd fixed my mistake and I'm looking forward to wearing them when the weather cools off again. I started them in the Vancouver airport on our way back from vacation in April and carried them around in my purse to work on in odd moments. The stitch pattern actually goes pretty quickly if you sit down and work on it.

Once again I substituted a short-row heel for the heel-flap-and-gusset construction the pattern called for. And once again this lead to me missing an important bit of information about how the foot was supposed to go. Lesson learned: always read through everything … especially if you're planning on making some changes.

About the middle of June I signed up for Vivian McMaster's e-crouse Light Hunters and every day since the first of July I've received an email prompting me to think about light. Technically this is a photography course but Vivian frequently reminds us to stop, put down the camera, and just look. As I was walking around today I found myself classifying the light as I was seeing it: dappled light, hard light, quiet light, mellow light, dancing light, shadow light. Tomorrow's prompt is supposed to be about soft light and I'm looking forward to it. I'm also looking forward to the rain and possible thunder shower Environment Canada is promising us because I've discovered I really love rainy day light.

These are some pictures from my light hunting the past couple of weeks. The prompts arrive every day but I've decided not to confine myself by hunting for only that particular kind of light that day so my photos don't match prompts day by day but are more of a reflection of which ever light idea I was thinking about at the time. We are not even half way through the month and already I'm finding new ways of looking at the world. It's very exciting.
