Autumn is Upon Us
Well the wind is starting to get crisp. I’m starting to grab scarves when I head out and about. The dew in the morning is starting to look a lot like frost. I’m pulling out my sweaters to wear. I’m even wearing socks inside the house! you know what all of this means? yes autumn is upon us and soon it will be winter. The other day I knew the perfect answer to out chilly dreariness… STEW! Yes an nice warm yummy stew, with kumara, pumpkin, potato, onion, celery and tomato. Add some yummy herbs and boil it all in homemade chicken stock(made from boiling a roasted chicken carcass until it was boiled to bits) and you have the prefect autumn treat! We had so much of it yet it disappeared rather fast.
What’s the knitting been like? distracted that’s what… I haven’t been doing a lot of knitting mostly because I have been reading and working on my vest design, which I’m happy with and started.
So that is the beginning of the linen stitch vest. I cast -on (5 freaking times! When am I going to realize the long tail cast-on isn’t good for when you have many stitches to cast on) Tuesday afternoon and set it aside after semi trauma of casting on. Have I ever told you that I hate (HATE) casting on, really I would almost pay someone to cast on for me. But yesterday I took it to the Embroiders Guild meeting with me and then today on the bus and am now an inch done with the ribbing three more inches to go! I want a nice thick ribbing on the bottom it make my tummy look well less pregnant.
So really the only other knitting I have to show for myself is the simple moss stitch shawl. the worst part is you can’t even tell that it’s bigger but it is! It’s almost twice the size as it was last time you all saw it! This is my TV project and I have been watching more TV lately I don’t even know why. Well I guess that’s all for now! I have a really cool post about feminism coming up that I hope doesn’t offend anyone but frankly I don’t really care! :-p
