So, a quick update. I have just learned that I have indeed made it to the 2nd round of Sock Madness. Thanks to all of you who have been cheering for me! Now, I am not entirely sure when the 2nd round will begin. It may depend on when others are finished, for example at this time only 6 from my division are done - we need 10 more to finish before we can move on.
It was fun. I am not sore or crampy (I credit my arnica cream!) and today I will rest and enjoy the very beautiful weather that we are having!

You have Meyers lemons fresh!!! I love those lemons....you are sooo lucky.
Here's the recipe:
PRESERVED LEMONS
Cut 7 thin-skinned lemons (Meyer lemons are especially lovely) lengthwise into eight segments each. Pick out seeds. In a large mixing bowl, toss lemon segments with 1/2 cup coarse salt. Pack lemons and salt into a 1-quart wide-mouthed canning jar. If you like, wedge in 1 tablespoon cardamom pods and 3 bay leaves. Press down firmly. Add enough lemon juice (about 1/4 cup) to cover. Seal. Let rest at room temperature, shaking once a day, for three weeks. Float a thin film of olive oil over the top. Refrigerate.
I *am* sore. There's a muscle at the back of my left shoulder that A) I did not know I have and B) did not know I used for knitting. But I guess that's just another thing I learned in round one (along with the darn short row heels).
