Today is a national holiday in the United States. Many Americans will celebrate with food, family, friends and fireworks. The British Hubby and I celebrate by watching Jaws. We have quite the collection of Jaws paraphernalia. Over the years, we’ve purchased t-shirts, hoodies and mugs. One mug even changes when you put hot liquids in it.

Last year, I found a sock pattern to help us celebrate. This weekend, I started my first Shark Bait sock. The pattern is Shark Bite by Lara Smoot. The plan is to have four finished socks for our annual viewing in 2017.

I also started the stage four socks in Tour de Sock. The pattern is A Song of Beads and Lace by Sarah Bordelon. You can just about make out the first row with beads.

Update on other wips:

• Earth & Sky: This one is stalled while I wait on skein four to arrive.
• Chairty Malt: 71 of 80 rows done on the square section.
• Washington Mist: I have 10 of 12 garter rows done on the end part. I’m 800 stitches away from the border!

You’re gonna need a bigger bag!
