FO-Rainbow Coriolis Socks

They're finally done and I love them, even if they don't match (the beginning of one end of the skein was considerably redder than the end, and the results belie the fact).

They will go fantastically with the red Birkenstocks I bought this summer. Yes, I'm going to wear Birkenstocks with socks.

Python and polygons

Hubby started teaching Bub Python (what I understand to be a beginner programming language that not that many people use, please feel free to correct me) on the weekends. And Bub loves it. Yesterday Hubby had Bub figuring out how many degrees it took to make different-shaped polygons and at the end, had him figure out the pattern of the answers. I was very amused, but thought it was so cool. And he'll remember it way better than if we just gave him a chart.

Capelet Doppelganger

Once upon a time, a few years ago, I had an infatuation with Twinkle knits. They looked so high fashion, and had the allure of being knit quickly. I bought enough Twinkle Soft Chunky for the Best Friend Cardigan, but alas, I was still new to sweater construction and the instructions were confusing. So eventually, instead of the Best Friend Cardigan, I knit the Princess Capelet. It was fast, it was cute (especially the pom-poms). It was hard to figure out what to wear with it without looking ridiculous.

Fast forward to today: I saw something very similar at Anthropologie. It's listed as a Tulip Sleeve Cardigan, $228 from Twinkle Knits. It's a bit longer, the sleeves don't end quite the same, and this one has no pom-poms, but I'm excited, because that means the time is now for my little capelet. If I were ever to wear it, the time is now. If I could only figure out what to wear with the durn thing.
