I have been on vacation as you know. I tried to improve my photography skills. With the black volcanic rock of The Big Island and the pale blue of the ocean it proved a challenge. The above photo is one of my best pictures.
I was only there for two weeks. It was fun but a bit too hot for me. I really love the Pacific NW and its moderate temperatures and the ability to wear wool most of the year. Since I got back a month ago, I have been working on designs and enjoying my time off.
I have been feeling guilty that I have not knit Churchable a pair of socks since the 4th of July in 2007. He is over do for a pair of socks. I started the above socks quite a while ago but I disliked them with a passion and refused to work on them. So I frogged them and started over 2 weeks ago. I really trucked through the foot.
Its the October Holiday Stockpile on the Malabrigo Junkie Ravelry Group. I have done a few designs and knit a new cowl using a technique that I have never done before. I decided that I really needed winter coats so I started Flair last Monday and split off the arms this weekend. I have come to a decision point.
Which button looks better?

Mmmmmm, I like the blue button. And the blue ocean in Hawaii!
It’s probably hard to take really bad photos in Hawaii. I vote for the blue button.
Hmm…I think I’m going to be the voice of dissent here and vote for the leather button. The blue is nice too, though. Your Hawaii photo is gorgeous!! I love the big island — did you stay on the Kona side or the Hilo side?
I love the leather button against the moss stitch in the close-up, but I think that leather buttons are much more tweedy and elbow-patchy, and something younger like Flair needs the blue buttons.
LOVE the photo!! And, though you’ve already decided, I think the blue button looks best
