The heatwave is long over and it's below 60 today... happily for Winston and his parka, and happily for me so I can wear my newly finished wool supersockes. :) They're my first pair knit all by myself (with help from Jolie, my knitting angel/missionary). I finished them this morning and I'm calling them ferry socks... (knit mostly on or while waiting for a ferry.)

I'm finishing a lot of things these days... Books I've borrowed, projects I've procrastinated, toiletries that I don't want to pack... I'm getting ready for the road again – or the air, as it may be. Next Tuesday I'm flying south... to California for a few weeks and to the Midwest after that... By the end of September I'll be all the way East until Christmas.

This fall in DC it will be nice to wear island memories on my feet...
