Keep On Keepin' On

Yesterday morning I promptly cast on for FM sock #2, and before I knew it, I was off and rocking:


It feels like this one is going faster.  Must be the increased confidence I have now that I'm an expert lime slice maker!!!  (Or the Karbonz have cast a spell so that I knit faster and therefore can start MONKEYSOCKS sooner!!)

I also made the needed repairs on my mom's second slipper, and they are now ready for felting!

In wildlife news - there were some deer out on the lawn early yesterday morning, but they quietly disappeared shortly after that.  There are still birds and daffodils everywhere!

These are  Crazy For You socks.  They haven't told me yet exactly whom they are crazy for , but I'll let them ponder that for a while.  It appears I may have caught a bit of Knitting New England's Tangerine Tango  with all of these orangey colors!
