Tomatoes and Pomatomus

I've began the Pomatomus Sock (pattern is free and available on Knitty.com) it is being knit on 2 circular needles with the suggested yarn by Shelridge Farm, I used the color Loganberry. The pattern is written for DPN's, and I was surprised how easy it was to convert to use with the circular needles. I have an appreciation for the circular needles as it is easier to take my project places without having to worry about stitches falling off the needles while in transit. The socks are destined by my niece who is away at college, she is now a fellow knitter and I know that she will enjoy wearing handmade socks made especially for her by her Aunt Jean. My next sock project for her will have to be warm winter socks in either a DK weight or possible a worsted weight. Sock pattern suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

The tomatoes are coming! I had to go out and take back the volunteer tomato plant some, its as tall as the house and was quite wide, upon taking down some of the branches I came upon this wonderful specimen (there were plenty of others, but this one was especially appealing). If this is the same type of tomato that I planted last year it will reward me with large meaty tomatoes that are delectable with few seeds, they are great with fresh mozzarella, drizzled with olive oil.

My favorite Extra Virgin Olive Oil right now is by Colivata from Tuscany, it will be wonderful on the tomatoes when they are ready, I use it to dip bread into, finish pasta, drizzle on lightly steamed veggies or on a salad, I'm sure I could find other uses for it, but these are great for now.
