Oh, I'm so excited!!! my letter for the day lined up with my new project, so...
E is for Europe
E is for Embossed SeaWeed Socks
A few years ago I got the chance to go to Europe. The plan was to go to the Cannes Film festival. In the end we were in Cannes, during the film festival, without credentials. However we did get to tour theatres and theatre schools from Amsterdam, to Belgium, to Paris, and down to the Mediterranean. I think I could easily move to southern France. I loved every moment we spent there. The food is amazing! The people are friendly. Life moves at a more reasonable pace.
These photos are from the Roman theatre in Orange & the Oceanographic Institute in Monte Carlo. When ever I'm visiting in a town there are 3 places to look for me, a yarn shop, a museum/historical site, or an aquarium.
My next trip to Europe will be planning completely around my art history classes. I've got 2 text books just riddled with earmarked pages. Plus I need to be sure I arrive in Paris when the museums aren't on strike...
Today I finally found the perfect pattern for my Sea Wool yarn I got in Toronto. I'm knitting the Embossed Leaves socks from Favorite Socks. They're almost as addictive as Monkies.

Europe is great (what little of it I've seen) I've been to Monte Carlo and we toured the Oceanographic Institute too! It's been such a long time though that I don't remember half of it!

Wow, the socks look like your picture in the upper right corner. I think it is like a sea anenome?? Whatever, they are so striking.
