Is it an Armadillo, a Stegosaurus, or a Buffalo?

Opinions vary with the time of day, the angle of the light, and the mood of the viewer. All I know for sure is it has four legs and a tail. Better than a football no matter what it is.

**Edited to add** The lady who owns the bungalows here, Louise, thinks it looks like an elephant with too short legs.

Oxymoronic Knitting (Post #100!)

When you see what I'm knitting you'll understand the post title. I'm just starting the gusset on a Wool Ease sock made on #6 needles. Not exactly what you think about knitting in the tropics. Does this mean I'll be knitting bikinis when we get home? And the name of the color is Wood, a mix of dark brown, cocoa brown, and forest green. If I wear them in the woods and take my shoes off, my feet will disappear! But I'm enthralled with the magic of making socks. I will definitely be ready to tackle socks made out of DK weight yarn and smaller needles when we get home. I figure I'll work my way down to sock yarn and #2s.

JAD (just another dishcloth)

Gotta have something to do when it's rainy so I knitted a dishcloth. I like the colors but the stitch isn't as holey as I thought it would be.

And some flamingos in the mangroves.

Finished Socks!

And, look, they almost match!

Got the second sock done last night and the tails woven in. I was very careful so I didn't make a lump to rub a blister on my toe. I'm loving the colors and the way they don't make solid stripes. Nice yarn to work with too. I cast on and did the first day's dishcloth KAL while Don napped.

Bonairian Yarn Shopping

I couldn't resist asking an American lady in the grocery yesterday if there was anyplace on the island to buy yarn. Not that I need yarn, I just wanted to look at it. She said, "Oh sure, Tung Fong Store has it." And they do; two cartons of Red Heart Super Saver for about $4/skein and one carton of crochet cotton I didn't see the price of. I don't suppose people knit or crochet afghans or sweaters around here; it's just too warm. Didn't see any needles or hooks.

Sock Done!

This morning I finished First Sock! The first photo is her official portrait; the second one is her kicking back on vacation. Ain't she purty? I solemnly swear I'll cast on her sister before I go to bed tonight. Cross my heart. Right now I have to go get some tanks and weights so we can go diving today.

More Sock

I packed the January Dishcloth Knit-A-Long for airplane knitting, but couldn't resist bringing First Sock too. First Cotton Sock, that is. It has a heel--just like a real sock! I couldn't resist trying it on.
