This is Not Your Grandmother's Knitting

Yesterday, I had a photo shoot for the fun people at Bijou Basin Ranch, including yarn, garments, and some haute couture pieces.  It was so much fun!  The models were great, the pieces were beautifully made, and it all came together.  This yak yarn is so nice to knit with, soft and warm.     



This is my sister-in-law.  Isn't she a great model? 

I left the shoot a few skeins of Tibetan Dream richer, and I know just what I'm going to do with it: when I get time for knitting for myself, I'm going to make some knee-highs. Perfect under some cute boots!




Isn't this a cute sweater?  I'm not saying this yarn is awesome because they're paying me - I don't get paid for my comments - but really, the yarn is just so nice to knit with!

    Great photos as usual. Your SIL is a very good model. The yarn looks yum. I got some bison (blended) on my trip which I can't wait to use.

    How fun, Karen! Your SIL is great - and the gray sweater is exactly something I would wear - but I think way out of my league for knitting!
    Cheers!

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!
