Welcome to episode lucky 13 of the Knotty Giraffe knitting chat. In this episode I talk about my latest summer knit--yes, it's another Ranunculus--along with a free baby sweater pattern, struggles with my Starry Night-mare sock yarn and more. I also talk about what I've been reading this past month and have a small spattering of photos from my trip to Newfoundland.

You always have so much going on! Nice to hear a little about your recent trip to Newfoundland and loved the photos you shared. Your pink ranunculus looks so nice on you, really pretty, really summery. So scary about the car accident. Gosh, you never know, right? So glad you are OK (and the dogs.). I've gone down the Summer Lee "The Sock Project" rabbit hole for a while, getting excited about playing with color and design on various sock projects for myself and my family. Also learning how to modify various parts of a sock to get a really good fit. For now, that's what I'm working on and other projects are "waiting" for me. haha. Gosh, I share your horror of the Starry Night-mare sock yarn. It does not evoke any aspect of the masterpiece of the same name. An abomination! haha. But you made nice socks and they will keep your feet warm next winter. Love how you hid the remaining traces in your Jelly Roll blanket. 😁

Thanks for your kind words, Anne. I'm still counting my lucky stars that the dogs and I were fine. And thanks for confirming my Starry Night-mare disappointment. I've just discovered Stephen West's Color Popportunity Sock knit along and am thinking of joining it. Hope you are not too hot where you're living and thank you once again for being so kind with your comments.

Thank you for another enjoyable podcast. The little cardigan is cute. Too bad about the starry nightmare. I'm glad to hear that your accident wasn't worse. I'm waiting for Lessons in Chemistry from the library.

Thanks for another great podcast. Sorry to hear about your car accident. Very unnerving. I hope that you fully recover soon.

Thanks. I'm truly lucky that it wasn't worse as my dogs were in the back of the car and could have easily been killed if not for the way Subaru designed their cars for impact. All is well, thanks for your kind words and thanks for watching.
