Okay, so I read blogs, I have friends who blog, but I don't feel like I have the time to blog, but I am pulled towards blogging - so here I blog.
A little about me (in one horrifically long sentence), I am a mom (ages 8, 3), I knit, I work full-time, I grow 80% of the vegetables we consume as a family, I like to figure out ways to preserve my harvest (the latest was making cilantro-mint chutney and then freezing in ice cube trays to be used later) and occasionally when I find the peace of mind I illustrate.
I recently had back surgery, the upside I caught up on my knitting, the downside I am behind on my gardening.
On the knit-front I just finished a dress for my daughter Chloe, the Emma Peel, from "Mason-Dixon Knitting Outside the Lines". Since my daughter is very tall, I had to stretch the pattern out, but she's also skinny, so I didn't modify the width.
I hope to cast on a sweater for myself tonight using Elsebeth Lavold's Angora, I am making a sweater from "SimpleSTYLE". I will post on my progress.
Absolutely lovely, daughter and dress! I stumbled in because I'm about to start this dress and was doing a little google research. Thanks!
