Finished!

Knitting is finished and off the needles; all yarn ends have been woven in where they belong. All that’s left now is blocking which is a whole other project. Maybe tomorrow I’ll tackle that.

It might even be done before the snow starts! Fall is definitely here and the weather completely changed with very cool temperatures […]

Almost the Equinox.

The weather has turned the corner into cooler temperatures and possible rain, with snow in the higher altitudes. It snowed overnight in the Cascades, so it’s just a matter of time before it smucks us. But in the meantime, a favorite time of year is here! We picked some strawberries, a good double handful of […]

“Pogo” has a lot of answer for in terms of warping our brains. The world famous knit model is hard at work, as usual. Both are still really spotted but almost as big as their mom. One of the babies decided to have a little siesta in some tallish grass by the garden, but his […]
