It’s the picture I lost yesterday. The Mountain Ash on the left and the Highbush Cranberry on the right. At least that’s what I think it is. If you know for sure and can tell me if they are eatable, I’d sure love to hear form you. I haven’t been able to find any definite [...]

You may have seen this one. It’s knit all in one piece, and of course, I forgot to take a picture of it before I folded and sewed the shoulders in place. Been wanting to try this one for sometime and little Elizabeth (due next month sometime) gave me an excellent opportunity. I’ve been saving [...]

There was some question on the list about how to weave a prewarped triangle so I thought I’d post my version. Since I understand instructions best if there’s a picture, here’s my sketch. The red is the warp. I started at top left and warped around each nail as shown, ending at bottom left. Then [...]

I finished the third one last evening. Decided to finish it a bit differently. It has 4 ‘corners’ on top. Rather cute, I think. Today I have looms to sand, domestics to tend to, and I’d like to start measuring warp for the big loom, too. I also want to try an idea I have [...]

LOL I have a counter that tells me how long until Christmas! It even counts the seconds! Anyway, I thought I may as well start using some of the small skeins in the “scrap” basket to make winter hats for gifts. Only had enough of this yellow/orange for one 12″ square so found some bits [...]

The sun is a brilliant red spot but the camera’s eye don’t copy it that way. This fire is quite a way from us but the wind and weather are right for it to blow our way today. I guess they are having a time of it over there. too. They are evacuating people down [...]

I started from opposite sides, but I don’t know that you have to do that. You’ll bring the yarn over the previous color each time on the hypotenuse. The photo on the left is wrong because the red yarn should have been on the other side of the nail. I had to take the out [...]

Just finished the peaches, I’ve been picking blackberries for some time now, and the apples and pears are just about ready! My tomatoes are still bright green, but you can’t have everything I guess! :laugh: These luscious berries will be short cake for dinner tonight. Randy’s uncle will be here and I’m told he’s bringing [...]

The moon these mornings is Harvest Moon full and bight orange. That’s the smoke coming over the alps from the fire down river. I heard they were getting close to 25% contained, but it’s also getting close to several small towns over there. The sun was looking a bit red today, too. It’s cooling off [...]

I finally finished my Feather and Fan tablecloth. It’s the F&F pattern from Gathering of Lace worked in crochet thread. There are 4 subtle color changes in it since I ran out of the first thread that I had in my stash (I thought I had enough ) and then couldn’t find the rest of [...]
