365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

A Foot And A Half
Day 94: "The world needs more silly." Friends often hear me say that, so here's a fit of the sillies, Crow-style. A friend gave me some utterly delightful merino/nylon "washable-wool" fingering yarn for Christmas which I immediately assigned to become a new pair of socks. I started the first one about a week ago using the wrong pattern and didn't realize it until I had the cuff done. I ripped it out and started over with 12 additional stitches. By the end of the day, I had a new cuff. Socks are fairly quick and fun, so I've split the work into daily goals: cuff, heel and gusset, foot and toe, i.e., three days per sock. As you can tell, I have a foot and a half done (actually, a foot and two-thirds, but for the sake of preserving the visual pun, we'll leave it at this).
