Domestic Thursday: Two Socks and Some Beer

I'm in another sock rut, knitting-wise. My last non-sock knitting project (matching Blue Jays sweaters for my friend's pugs) had ended in tragedy, when I had battled through the intarsia only to find out that it was too small for her smallest dog.
So I knit some Hermione socks instead:

And now I'm partway through a pair of Eternal Spring socks from Knitty's last issue.

I'll return to the dog sweaters again sometime, but not until a few more pairs of socks, or maybe hats, have rebuilt my shattered self-confidence.

Of course, drowning your sorrows about failed sweaters requires something for the drowning, and this week it was Henderson Brewing's Radicle Wheat. A friend had left it at my place and judging from the label, this beer likes Toronto almost as much as Drake does. It's a nice wheat, particularly when I was drinking it last night, and the coriander shone brightly in the heat. Unfortunately, it turns out that "opened bottle shoved into the fridge" is not an ideal cellaring condition, and so the last inch I just knocked back wasn't quite as tasty. But that's what I deserve for not respecting the beer.
