Summer socks

 
 
 Summer " beach "knitting has always been a favorite of mine.
 Something easy to bring along to the waters edge.
 As well something fun to read.
 
  Reading  Bird Cloud by Annie Proulx and well into the 3d chapter
not so crazy about it.
Mostly about how her French Canadian father did everything he could to become more of a Yankee.
Endless details about her building an extravagant house in Wyoming
 so....
I am giving it a few more chapters before I throw in the towel.
 
 
Knitting with my own hand dyed yarn a simple sock
 
oh, let me also say one more thing...
 Next week there will be some news on
Mountain Girl Yarns
 
 and a give away
 stay tuned
 `wink

    I say throw in the towel, there are too many good books out there to keep hoping this one will get better.

    I love your socks and the yarn. Now you have my interest about next week, can't wait.

    I'm with Tracey....BUT...I'm glad you commented on it, because this is one author I've read in the past and sometimes like. (but this book doesn't sound like one I'm going to mess with!)

    The yarn is great and I especially loved the color. I have never read the book, but I have been to Wyoming. :)

    Gorgeous, gorgeous yarn. I love the colors--what beautiful socks. You do great work! I hate to waste my time on a disappointing book, but some books take time to get into. Looking forward to your news!

    A great pair of socks. I too sometimes throw in the towel when I am reading a book that isn't doing anything for me.
