Springy socks and flowers

Spring is here in full force.  This Felici colorway, called Sunny Day, is just perfect: As usual, this is a super plain vanilla sock and it went quite fast – 52 stitches around on sportweight yarn.  I did my usual afterthought heel: Good day to kick back in the Adirondack chair and ponder the yard.  Once again, here’s my compost bin in the background. I also finished making, felting, and embellishing these flowers for the super top secret classified activity that will be happening next week.  These are so fun!  I used Kristin Nicholas’s pattern (Sunflowers and Zinnias to Knit and Felt) and it’s pretty quick to crank these out.  They definitely qualify as “potato chip knitting” – you can’t make just one.
