OK, so check this out....the husband pops out the front door yesterday morning on his way to the corner to grab our favorite Slack-Ass'-Sunday-Breakfast, right? And it's this beautiful, sunny, perfect New England Fall day, right? So he stops and takes a deep breath of the crisp fall air as he stares up at that perfect blue sky that really only happens here at this time of year, and as he starts down our steps he notices that one of our neighbors across the street appears to be basking in the glorious sunlight on her front steps. Then he smiles in appreciation as he notices that there's a camera in her hands. And THEN he realizes that her camera is pointed at her feet. That's right, her feet...upon which there are....you know where this is going, don't you?....uh huh....hand knit socks.
Now y'all have already made this leap and are clamoring for the details, but the husband, he is nothing if not polite, so he walks over and ask if she knits (of COURSE she does) and also if she blogs (because who ELSE would be doing this camera and stockinged feet on the front steps thing, right?), and then proceeds to mention that his wife is also insane a knit-blogger, and her blog is...yadda, yadda, yadda. And off he goes to get our breakfast. You know, like nothing at all momentous has just happened. DUDE! A knitblogger lives right.across.the.street! Go say hello to Joan * you guys. See that blog name? I'm telling you, it's something in the water around here.
*Note: She doesn't have a standard comments section, but if you scroll to the bottom of the page, there's a spot for you to drop her an email note.
she doesn't have "comments" i can't say hi
tell her to have a comments section.

Hee. Someone on the front step taking pictures of a knitted good and/or their feet could, in fact, mean Only One Thing.
You are not alone.
