I’m visiting my old college floormate Melissa for the weekend, so last night she took me to her knit night. While that merry band was discussing the virtues of knitting looms and willy warmers, the Yarn Harlot blogged about Glenna’s BSG Socks, and linked to this humble blog in the process. (Probably because I’m blabbing about these awesome socks to everyone and anyone. I even handed my finished first one around the knit night, because how can you not?)
Anyway, once I got over the palpitations from seeing my name on the Harlot’s blog, I decided maybe I’d take a page out of her book and show my second BSG sock a good time. So today Melissa and I took it out to Longwood Gardens, which is the former estate of Pierre Du Pont, and we had a good look at the orchid show:
Here the sock is enjoying the East Conservatory.
Here is one of the amazing fountains in the Children’s Garden, which was one of the most delightful things I’ve ever seen.
And some beautiful miniature orchids and a waterfall, which the sock liked a lot.
On our way out we stopped in the Du Pont House, which is a museum, and checked out some of Mr. DuPont’s stuff.
The sock had a great time, and really wants to go back once it’s a little warmer and the outdoor gardens are all opened, which I think won’t be a problem at all.
