Saturday Sky

It's Saturday again, & time for another Saturday Sky picture.



We had a mostly boring day here, as far as the sky is concerned. It was overcast all day, without enough of a break to make the clouds interesting. So instead, I was lucky enough to find a dove perched on my neighbor's roof, to add a little something different to this week's Saturday Sky.



I've also managed to dive into my stash of hand-dyed yarns this week, inspired by my previous post. This is "African Grey" by St Louis own Rachel of Dyeabolical Yarns. Her Etsy site is here. I'm really enjoying watching how it knits up.





What I did not so much enjoy was finding a problem several rows back on this sock. There was a stitch where I had put my needle through the yarn instead of through the loop, so a partial loop had not been picked up by the following row. I ended up frogging back several rows after taking these pictures.





This yarn is "Spiceland" from Lime & Violet's Knitters Connection series.

    Yup, the Saturday sky was rather bland. Still, love the mourning dove in the shot. Isn't Rachel's yarn wonderful? I started a sock and will have to rip it because I want it for myself and it looks like it would fit a 7 year old.

    Hi Cindy,
    I was driving back from Arkansas on Saturday. The sky looked the same there too.I like the sock yarn. I just love her yarn.
