Hay and Sunshine
On the knitting front, I’ve worked some on the second Tasha sock. I’m getting close to the end of the leg. The prospect of a heel flap and turn is always exciting. I’ve also worked on the Mormor shawl. And I’ve got a pic to prove it:
Pretty, no? It is the Mormor Pattern in Lime and Violet Oops! Dark. I believe the yarn is the bamboo blend. Little Turtle Mittens for Tulip are also on the needles. I whipped up one mitt except thumb last Sunday. I haven’t picked it up since because I was distracted by crochet.
The Granny Mitts from Chez Plum are too easy to make. I’ve almost got a full pair (sans buttons) in just a couple of hours. I used Karaoke and a tiny hook to get the right size. I’d endorse these for quick holiday gifts. I was going to take a pic, but then I realized I seamed the cuff of the second mitt. D’oh!
The family and I headed to the Hunt Club Farm Harvest Fair yesterday. The weather was absolutely perfect. And there weren’t very many people. The girls both rode ponies (actually, Tulip rode a miniature horse) and jumped in the bouncy houses. They wanted to ride the ferris wheel, but I said no. Since only Rosebud is the correct height, I didn’t want to leave Tulip out. Plus, I hate ferris wheels. We even took a hayride around the farm. Rosebud especially loved the pile of hay.
