my first sock

being up in maine for the summer means 2 thing...
#1. I'm instantly going to turn into the meanest driver in the state because everyone here is so freakin' nice. they stop for pedestrians, even if they aren't at crosswalks, they allow other cars to go before them at 4-way stops, even if they get there first, and... they go the speed limit! i'm from jersey, i learned how to drive in jersey, and we all know what that means... i'm not a nice driver. i think i'm the only person to use a car horn and my middle finger to express my thoughts on the other drivers here...
#2. i need to find something to keep myself busy when i don't have work. last summer, and this one, i've been working on my photography. but over the last few months, i've been learning how to knit. i found the most fantastic yarn store (http://www.uniqueone.com), and i've been learning how to knit socks. the above photo is my first attempt at a sock, and I have to say that I'm quite pleased with the outcome.
I've now purchased yarn for a pair to be knitted for greg, more yarn for socks for a person to be determined, and some beautiful alpaca/silk/wool yarn for a nice scarf for me... and, of course, i have a few other projects going for people having babies soon... i have a lot of knitting to do!

This is a beautiful sock, almost too pretty to stuff into a boot -- really lovely.
I laughed a lot about the NJ drivers -- had the same reaction at the 3-way stop in Pgh when everyone was taking turns and I was NJaggressively pushing through. Good for me to know that now all driving was a contest of wills.
How are the Maine blueberries?

I wanna see Greg's socks!
