Tractors everywhere

Yesterday we went to an Antique Tractor  & Engine Show.  We miss going to those shows. They had them all the time in MD and VA.
We did go early because it has been hot lately.  Good thing because after two hours we were dripping from the heat! But we had a good time watching the tractor pulling and walking around looking at some small, antique engines.

Blue!! my favorite color! (oh, and it's a Ford)

On a knitting note... I found the picture of the white and blue socks I knitted to match the little Sailor Cardigan.

I used the same Debbie Bliss Eco Baby cotton that I used for the cardigan.

And this week I knitted another pair of baby socks. These are for a class I'll be teaching. (maybe)

Yarn: SMC Egypto Cotton.  Needles: US 2 dpns.  Pattern: "Quick Take-off for Little Pilots" from the book Knitting For Little Feet.

It is not a beginner sock pattern and so far beginners have signed up for the class.  So I may have to do a different sock from that book.

And I started another pair of fingerless mitts...

Yarn: Zara.  Needles: US3 & US 5 dpns.  Pattern: Cocoa Rosa (rav link) by Catherine Shields (Studio Marlowe)

I love this yarn! I love the pattern!! I love the brown and pink colors of the original gloves but I need to use Red and White for one of the Nerd Wars challenge.

My needlepoint has suffered a bit with all the knitting but I'll show a few pictures of it later in the week.

Have a good week and stay cool! (I'll be trying to as our temperatures are reaching the 100s!)
