Finish Socks - Check! Start Casapinka KAL - Check! Clean Bathroom......

Hello on this steamy Sunday!  We're all looking forward to the weather becoming more seasonal over the next day or so.  Enough of this sauna!!

So yes - the socks are done and ready!  Here are the Heart Heels:

Here are the Striped Heels:


And, while I really should be dyeing the yarn for Oogyhubby's super warm winter socks (they will be handknit), I started on Clue 1 of Casapinka's KAL.  I'll show you a pic next time - as expected, it's super fun and full of color changes I would ordinarily avoid on my own :)

In other news - I met a friend for outdoor coffee yesterday, after which Oogyhubby had a friend over for lunch and then another join them for some workout time in the basement (all are vaccinated!).  We're all socialized out now, at least for another week or so!

Oogyhubby had gone out the other evening and said that there were about 10 deer on the driveway when he returned home.  One of the few things I look forward to in winter is seeing the evidence of all their travels and square-dancing in the snow.  Otherwise we really have no idea what's going on at night!

Stay safe and well :)

Macinnis, Peter (2004). Poisons: From Hemlock to Botox and the Killer Bean of Calabar. New York: Arcade Publishing. From the author’s web site : "As usual, I am interested in the people, their interactions and the social effects that poisons have had, as well as the science. There is an exquisite beauty in the way tetrodotoxin is made harmless to its hosts, the way a wasp moth vomits over its mate, or the way a mongoose withstands the venom of the cobra. To me, these are things worth exploring, so I do. " In his book, Macinnis endeavors to describe poisonous compounds and their science, relate which historical figures are implicated in the use of these poisons, and document how these poisons are referred to literature. He then attempts to weave all of these aspects together. Macinnis does indeed attempt to cover aspects of science, people, and all the history inbetween, but he does not seem quite able to cover everything in a consistent, coherent way. I think there is just to
