Two Great Escapes
I’m happy to announce that the pigeons have made their grand escape from the flower pot! While making dinner, I heard cooing, peeping and flapping noises from outside. I saw the parent encouraging Bernie to flap. It was funny to watch. Bernie sat there flapping away without lifting himself off of the bench. It must take several workouts to develop strong wing muscles.

I quietly snuck out onto the balcony to watch their progress–the parents seem quite scared of me and took off immediately, but the little ones hopped onto my shelves and into my dishpans of dirt (that will eventually grow things that are greener than pigeons!)
It’s Tuesday today, and that means cheap movie tickets…so I planned a great escape of my own! I packed up my knitting and headed to watch “A Shine Of Rainbows” at the Screening Room. It is an Irish movie which is charming and a bit sad, as most Irish movies are.

Last night I had already turned the heel on the socks so during the movie it was smooth sailing…

I’m wondering if there is a better heel construction for self striping wool. I really like the solid construction of the heel flap and reinforced heel, but it doesn’t keep the matching stripe pattern so well. Short row heels would probably maintain the pattern better.
What’s your favourite heel construction?
