Little Mittens

Okay, Audrey and others said it's not too early! Here's the first-of-the-year Christmas project I've gotten done that I can show you! I've been invited to two different ornament exchanges the last two years, and I have been on the look-out for something cute to make. Now that I am knitting, I spotted these and thought they'd be perfect. Last year, I was working like mad to finish my exchange contributions at the last minute. This year, I am trying to spread out my Christmas crafting through the whole year, so that December is actually enjoyable.

I made these little mittens from what was left from my socks. I also have some green and other various bits, so hope to have a nice little pile for ornaments before December.

I've been knitting by the pool this last week, where everyone has lessons, and I have made two new knitting friends! Funny to be making Christmas presents poolside. Here's Speed, swimming under water.

    I haven't been to the pool yet this summer, but it looks wonderful! The mittens are very cute and when you hand them out this December you can think of the warm, summer days in which they were created!

garden panos from 2023

 Last year, I made some effort (not thoroughly successful) to capture state-of-the-garden pictures every month, including panoramas stitched together on Photoshop, in order to get the whole view of what's happening.  So here's a little recap of the garden in 2023! early March April May June August It appears that I missed July, and either didn't take or didn't save this project in September, although we didn't have a killing frost very late into the season - we were still harvesting a few things in October.  As much as I loved the lettuce that was growing in the tunnel, and getting an early start on a few things, I'm not a fan of plastic anywhere, especially in my garden, so I am looking at options - cold boxes with old windows, etc.  I'm planning to start my 2024 garden this month - pea planting, planning, and seed starting in March!  What are you planting?

Spring Means Baseball!

I've had this idea for a knitting pattern in my head and it's finally come to fruition!  I am still polishing up the pattern, but here's a quick peak:  PS:  There's more than one size and this one is too big for me but it was the only one I had "stitched up."

Night

Trixie (as in Speed Racer) and Stitch (as in per inch) Night My kitten walks on velvet feet And makes no sound at all; And in the doorway nightly sits To watch the darkness fall. I think he loves the lady, Night, And feels akin to her Whose footsteps are as still as his, Whose touch as soft as fur. Lois Weakley McKay ... a childhood favorite from The How and Why Library. Thank goodness my parents moved last year and sent this book my way. Otherwise, I would have just the first line running through my head forever!
