faux spring

Finito! The Ann Hansen "Roger" socks made with Classic Elite Alpaca Sox. These socks were made for walkin'. Don't know color number because (surprise) label is lost. I love these socks! The pattern was easy and fun, the yarn luscious, the color energizing. And today was another gorgeous warm one so I had to take lots of pictures of the socks outside on the mannequin feet which are much shapelier than mine.
This is the one patch of snow left in the courtyard in a shady north-facing area. Picked up camera and dog and went off for another long park walk. It felt like a spring Saturday there. Kids in the playground, at the basketball hoops, old ladies pushed in wheelchairs, dog walkers, tourists taking pictures of Kit Carson's grave, teens sprawled out on the ash blond grass, runners, walkers, talkers on phones, young mothers walking very fast with those big three-wheeled strollers.
An almost perfect day. An hour spent on the deck in the sun, writing (in one of the new notebooks). Dinner of cappellini pasta with pesto/basil meatballs, white wine, salad. A movie later and some knitting on the other Roger socks in mauve alpaca which I hope to finish soon.
