What I'm Working On

As it turns out, I am going to be busy next week so I have several projects I need to wrap up. They've been loitering around the house, waiting for the holidays to be over. I am knitting ten little pink berets for a Brownie troop who are learning about France. Those are due at the end of the month, and I have two done. I have made six or seven, but most of those are rejects; it took me awhile to get the gauge right for these little - but not tiny - heads. Eight more, then.

And I am making a bunch of skein keepers at the request of the LYS owner, to go with the knitting baskets and needle cases that I've made previously. Here's the one I'd keep, if I were keeping one:

But, I'll have to make myself one later.

    I'm very spoiled -- I am the happy owner of both a skein keeper and a crochet hook case! They're both great! Thanks, Karen!

    Ten little berets? That is impressive! I love the knitting case. It makes it very handy to take with you; I may need one of those!:)

    Okay, I am going to HAVE to have a crochet hook case with the chocolate on it!

    Also, do you want to come to my house on Friday the 30th to hang out with me and my two best friends?

    I will see you tomorrow!

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?

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!

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."
