I Do What the Voices in My Sock Tell Me To

The sock has had an eventful few weeks. It went to Prince Edward Island, it went to a Bob Dylan concert, and it went to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Since the Dylan show (you can see the set list here), these socks are now known as the Tangled Up in Blue Socks. (We will ignore the fact that the second sock is entirely theoretical at this point. Sock #1 is more than halfway done. I’m finishing up the gusset shaping.) That is a more interesting name than “yet another pair of socks that mainly follows Silver’s Sock Tutorial.”

I was not the only person knitting as I waited in line to see Indy 4. There was also a lady in line who was knitting something red. I was, however, the only person who brought my Indy action figures to the theatre, as well as the only person who was wearing an Indiana Moo and the Kingdom of the Lost Herd T-shirt from Cows.

The sock just told me that I should post the rest of my flood pictures, and whatever the sock says goes, so I shall do so. These were all taken on Thursday, May 1, 2008.

Yes, people are canoing in the library parking lot.

I would not advise driving on this highway

The right lane is underwater! So is the left lane!

    You took some amazing pics of the flood. Hard to believe that our Fredericton looked like that! Gives Freddy Beach a new meaning…
