Vacation Time 2016
I'm getting ready to go to my summer cabin in the Yukon. A few things I'll be doing are: reading and attempting to knit a pair of socks. I've never made socks before, so it might be a challenge. There is no electricity, plumbing, internet or cell service at the cabin, it's like going back in time. Hopefully, the socks will turn out and I'll be able to post a picture of them when I get back. :)

I used to knit sox a hundred years ago, and would have to get my brother Don to show me how to turn the heel every time. He finally just wrote out the instructions in a way I could easily understand the method. Have fun with the knitting!! Definitely have fun on vacation....R&R is a good thing.
Thanks, Susan!
