I’ve been working away on a bunch of wee things for the holidays.
But it’s not all tiny sweaters around here! While looking for scrap yarns to knit them with, I came across a handspun sweater I started ages ago. I’ve decided to pick it back up rather than ripping it, and it’s very pleasing indeed.
Whew. Between working on setting up my new apartment, working at lettuce knit, working on my own stuff, and enjoying the summer food and general enjoyment, it’s been a busy month! The barest hint of fall is in the air, though it’s still pretty warm during the daytime, and I’ve been knitting bits and pieces on tons of projects.
Time for some photos!

Foods! Scallion pancakes with scallions from the farmer’s market – so, so delicious. The dipping sauce is stellar too.
Tiny peach pies! I didn’t have enough peaches for a full pie (because I’ve been eating so many of them) so I made a few minis instead, in a muffin tin.
Knitting? Sure. I’ve been nuts for a tubular cast on.

And in Malabrigo sock, too:
I’ve been in my new apartment for a little over a week, and it’s starting to come together – I do have more trips to Ikea in my future though!
Amidst all the packing, moving, unpacking and setting up, I have been knitting:
Tanis Fiber Arts green label in Midnight – aran weight works up soooo fast!
A sweater in Koigu – the opposite of fast, but it is beautiful.
I haven’t been taking tons of photos, but I’m trying to get back into the habit. Here are some more glimpses of what I’ve been up to the past few weeks.
Oy, so disorganized! I’m happy to have such a nice full sized bedroom for my new office, though. It even has a closet!
