california

sonoma county to be exact.

you know you actually live here when your day off involves an errand to pick up a couple bottles that would otherwise be very hard to find.

by the way we have beautiful weather right now. absolutely beautiful.

today consisted of an half an hour drive through gorgeous country. over the hill, through some hayfields, past a few vineyards, and a couple of dairies. i arrived at my destination to pick up some wine for a wedding present for a friend. and some for the household stash of course. turned around. and repeat. did i mention the gorgeous drive.























yes i think it is beginning to sink in.
i live in california.


oh i forgot to mention lunch...


a nice sauv blanc, country style bread, apple, dry aged jack, and baby swiss cheeses.
all local.

of course there is some knitting time to immediately follow.
i think i could die happy.

stick a spoon in these and stir!

lots of sugar in my cappuccino please. or maybe iced. it has been a hot day... i guess as long as it is caffeinated it shouldn't really matter right? i think i deserve it! cause these babies are done! the venezia socks. or cappuccino as i call them. i used the pattern charts and just knit these up. for my second attempt at stranded color work i think they turned out great! if i had it to do over again i would probably have used a different pattern for the sole. the stripe is a little too bold for the swishiness of the instep and leg pattern. but hey. you learn. the specifics: pattern: chart from the venezia sweater by Eunny Jang yarn: sock it to me 4 ply in coffee bean and latte needles: knitpicks harmony circs size 1. socks knit as 2 magic loops simultaneously (these needles are actually growing on me) details: magic cast on 16 stitches in coffee bean, increase at edges on every row to 26 then every other row to 36 stitches. move one stitch from sole of sock(35) to inste
