Eye-really-have-start-itis Candy Friday...

...because I started another pair of socks! But we'll get to that in a bit.

First, here is a picture of our hydrangeas in progress:

Hydrangea, in progress

There are a few flowers on the bush that are fully bloomed. They are all coming in pink this year; last year they were purple and pink. Something has changed in the soil, which has affected the color. At any rate, they are really interesting at this stage with the different shades of green and the pink just starting around the edges.

OK, on to the knitting. I started the Eleanor socks by Monkey Toes [Ravelry] with the BMFA club yarn for May 2009. I've finished the K1P1 cuffs and just started the pattern section:

Eleanor de Plume socks, cuffs

The yarn is looking a lot darker than I thought it was in the skein. It will be interesting to see how it works in the pattern.

Up this weekend: House cleaning! We feel the need to get things in order and get rid of some clutter. In between, I want to finish up the Lisa Sousa batts I've been spinning and, of course, knitting some socks!
