Socks on the Beach

Pardon the gap in postings, but I've been getting ready to leave for a 3 week dog/cat/house sitting trip to Oregon. Last Friday was my epic travel day. It began with a noon flight from my local airport to a 10:45 landing in Eugene, Oregon. In that time, I cast on and knit through the heel turn on my new watermelon yarn socks. 

Today, after dropping my friends off at the airport for *their* trip to London/Ireland/Amsterdam, I trekked out to the coast to dip my toes in the Pacific. (Damn. It's cold water!) while I was there, I cast on the 2nd watermelon sock while sitting on a piece of driftwood. 

I then continued up the coast a bit, but the Sea Lion Caves were doing maintenance on their elevator, so no trip to see Sea Lions. Maybe I'll make another trip once my Nikon arrives.
