    I loved the weather lesson! When I was 10 our car broke down in OK. We looked across the field and saw the tornado funnel. Thankfully, it did not come our way as we were sitting ducks with no where to shelter. That was 52 years ago and I still remember it. Beautiful socks!!

    The name Stillwater couldn't be further from the reality of these socks. "TOEnadoes" maybe?

    Without even looking I know exactly what day you recorded this one 🤦🏻‍♀️ That was a tough night. I live in southern Oklahoma and we had 5 of those tornados in our area 😞 destroyed dollar tree warehouse, dollar general, homeland store and the entire downtown area of Sulphur and so many homes and so much debit and destruction. We were very lucky and my family was safely hunkered down in the shelter for four hours. My knitting helps me so much during the tornado season as well as all seasons of life!
    Pink is my favorite color especially this shade of pink! Thank you summer for another great episode!

    Knitting is perfect for severe weather. I knitted my way through the disastrous Wildfire Season of 2017. Smoke filled my town's skies from late July until October. It was a gift when the smoke would clear enough that you could see across the street. Not sure what this summer will bring-but I am armed and ready. In other words I have lots of yarn. I totally agree with you on the eye of partridge heel.

    Doing laundry when you have a tornado watch is perfectly logical! We live in an area without municipal sewer and water, meaning we rely on electricity to have water. When we have a t-watch, I fill a few water jugs for drinking, and my washing machine for toilet flushing. If we don't have any storms, I have water ready for laundry. I am loving your new book so much and pray for a quieting of the weather. Best wishes.

    Growing up, my dream job was to be a meteorologist - love the tornado chat! Also, that you are all safe... Last week i just had to cast on some faded shortie socks, now I need the perfect pink socks too. Maybe I can name mine after the highly unusual sightings of the Northern Lights that have been visible across the UK this weekend. Which I slept through... Happy Sunday!

    Your tornado lesson was totally engrossing, concise, and set the spooky mood. Loved seeing your unique flag and neighborhood. Here in Arizona we have dust storms which mostly ‘destroy’ our pools, air, and eyeballs (late June-August).
    Just completed my first pair of Hibernal socks. Now time to buy that beautiful Stillwater pattern!

    Good to see you Summer! I can only imagine that living in Tornado Alley is pretty anxiety inducing - no wonder your knitting tension is tight if you're watching storm news! I'm in Arizona and, my family - whenever we see extreme weather in the news we always say "Thank you Arizona". Half jokingly and half earnestly 🤣 because, of course AZ has it's own hazards, but they are more predictable than tornados, blizzards, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc etc. Anyway, glad you made it through ok!
