So I saw an ad on Ravelry that featured baseball team colored sock yarn. How could I resist getting some Mets yarn for some authentic Mets socks?





The yarn was dyed by an Etsy seller and is a 75% wool/25% nylon blend. I started a sock with it despite not having finished the 16A socks yet. I don't especially like the feel of the yarn, not after knitting with Shibui which is heavenly. I'm curious to see how the yarn will work up. Early indications appear to be spiraling, which of course means that the second sock will pool.



In other news, these brief glimpses of sunshine have been helping our garden.



These are the peppers in the foreground (not doing the greatest) with some spicy globe basil in between. In the back are the tomato plants with some regular basil in between.



The enormous plants on the left are the zucchinis, and to the right are the pickle cucumbers.


Last night while investigating the plants, we discovered this...

Our first harvest!!

To give you some size perspective, here is the cucumber compared to our butter dish...



And of course we ate it last night with our fried chicken. It was awesome!!!
