I finally picked up my cable
knit sweater project again last month. It sat untouched for about 2 years.
Every time I’d look at the pattern I saw Chinese characters. I was too
impatient with the pattern so I made the decision to put it down until I really
missed it. Now the back is almost done and the front is half done. I knit the
bottom portion in the round to avoid seaming as much as possible. There will be
no avoiding seaming the sleeves to the body. My spatial reasoning cannot come
up with a way to knit the sleeves in the round, as this is a raglan style, and
start by picking up stitches in the armholes. Does that make sense? This was
also my first cable knit project and it’s turning out beautifully. I have made
quite a few mistakes and so love it even more.
We went berry picking the
other day and picked about 8 cups of salmon berries. I haven’t decided what to do with them. Jam?
Jelly? Syrup? Mix with other fruit or berries? Smoothy? Pretty soon the thimble
berries will be ready.
So last year we attempted
making cider. Ahem, let us just say I am so proud that we got through the whole
process and have a fermented beverage from apples. It has a very distinct
taste. I am drinking it one glass at a time. I refuse to throw it down the sink
just because it’s different. Craigan won’t touch it. Since I won’t toss it I
have to drink it so I can free up the storage bottles & growlers for this
coming falls crop of apples.
