Knitting and gardening
This is a detail of a scarf patten I am designing for a friend to make kits for selling her alpaca yarn.
I am still out here. I have not posted in awhile. I completed two pair of socks, two scarves, 10 hats, Three felted cat beds, a shawl and several skeins of handspun yarn in the past couple months. I did a program for the Butler spinners and weavers last wednesday, Friday I met with my knitting group and yesterday I met with knitting and weaving friends at Munnell Run Farm for our Mercer Guild meeting. So why have I not taken the time to post pictures of my work? I keep meaning to do it but the time just flies by.
October has been cooler than normal and the cool rainy days do not inspire me to go outside and finish up cleaning up my garden to get ready for winter. I am still picking a cup of red raspberries every day. We may have a frost tonight. A frost may stop the raspberries if it is severe. The raspberries can handle a light frost. I have several house plants that will need to come inside tonight. I just looked at the weather forcast and there will be only one day without rain with partial sun and a high of 50 in the next 10 days. This is discouraging. I need more good sunny days in the 60s to get outside and work in my garden.
