Gail's Socks Done and Befuddled Cardinal


With the completion of Dog Trainer Gail's socks, I officially declare my Christmas knitting done.

Pattern: Basic cuff down sock pattern on 64 stitches. k3p1 ribbing on cuff and instep.

Yarn: Regia.

Color: Kaffe Fassett 4255.

Needles: Options #1, 2.5mm

Gauge: 8 stitches/inch, 10 rows/inch


The Cardinals that come to our feeders do not like to eat upside down or cling to the side of a feeder. That leaves them befuddled about how to get to the suet.

Some of them eventually figure out how to perch on top of the suet feeder and lean over to grab a bite. They're only able to manage this when the feeder has a fresh suet cake coming right up to the top.

This Cardinal hasn't figured out the leaning over part yet, but he's got the right idea.

  1. Lucky Gail - the socks are beautiful. I'm afraid I may be coming down to the wire on the Christmas knitting this year. I think I left it to a little late! but you did remind me I need to get some suet for our birds.
