green week


Can't believe the week is almost over. Time is just flying by and life seems so hurried right now. With work and school, papers to write, bathrooms to paint, and just everyday tasks to take up my time, it seems like hours are seconds.

I remember my mom writing me a letter on my 40th birthday and in it she said that life is a bit like a clock - it takes forever for that clock hand to hit the first half hour and that last half hour just moves so quickly. Same with our time on this earth - that first 40 years seems like a long time, but the years after that just move at lightening speed. Emily at shining egg is hosting green week this week. Conveniently I finished some green socks for the Babe. Sometimes when life is a blur, it's nice to knit some simple socks.

Pretty socks. I know what you mean about time just flying by. The last five years have gone by in what seems to be a flash. The older I get, the more I resent the time I spend away from home and the things I love.

Love that photo.

The socks look delicious - what yarn did you use for them?

Simple socks are definitely the best relaxing knit I have found - such a soothing rhythm to them.

Great socks! I love green! My 30's are definitely passing a lot quicker than my 20's. Not sure ho I feel about that.

Green is my favourite colour, so many lovely shades. Life just goes too fast doesn't it? I find I am constantly busy these days, in a nice way fitting in things I want to do, apart from work of course!

Those are gorgeous socks! I'm a pretty new knitter. I have done scarves and now 2 hats. The next step is socks and I'm very excited at the prospect! Thanks for the comment on my blog; I'm glad I discovered yours now too!

Those socks are so fresh and lovely looking.

I cannot believe how fast the last 5 years or so have gone, good grief, this year alone is racing along.
