Knitting to be less sad... a little

This weekend was a sad one. A very dear, close friend died last week and her funeral was yesterday. A few of us headed down to Englehard, NC (a tiny place on the edge of the state, more water than land) to say goodbye. I'll really miss her. Two years ago, she was alive and well, went in for a simple outpatient procedure, and stopped breathing. By the time the doctor noticed, it was too late and she lapsed into a coma. She later woke up, but the damage was done. A vibrant, electric, brilliant journalist was practically returned to infancy. Bye, Ruth. Hope the coffee is good where you are, otherwise they'll hear about it!

To cheer myself up, I made some screaming yellow cabled footies from the "One Skein" book. Flummoxed up the toe, but I don't care. The yarn is Peace Fleece, thick and soft and the color of old style cornmeal. Ruth would have loved the color.
