It’s the end of May, the weather is generally warming up, and I have an agriculture report to share! But first, we have had a frequent visitor to our back yard: This very handsome bunny has been hanging out in our yard pretty regularly. He (or she, possibly) lets us get kind of close before… Continue reading Agriculture Report
A long weekend here in the US meant extra time for knitting for me, so pretty decent progress to report this week! My Homage to the Granny Square is coming along pretty well! Making good progress on the 2nd square type. Lots more to do, but it’s coming along 🙂 I’m now a little over… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
In my ongoing quest to figure out how to bake, I have set myself the task of baking 1 pie and 1 cake each month, trying different techniques and recipes over time. This month it was time to try out chocolate cake! The last time I tried this type of cake was kind of a… Continue reading Baking Experiment: Chocolate Cake
Despite being a busy week, I did manage to make some progress on my active WIPs. My KDD Summer of Mystery Mystery KAL shawl is coming along! I’m almost halfway through the 1st clue.

We have the carpet pulled up from one flight, but still have one flight to go. And, as you can see, some scraping. But at… Continue reading House Progress!
I am taking part in Kate Davies new Summer of Mystery club, which involves patterns, essays, a read along, and a mystery knit along. So there is a lot to do! The first clue came out today, and I got just a little start on it. (KDD MKALers – spoiler alert!) Hopefully that didn’t spoil… Continue reading Wednesday New WIP
Or quiche, if you are fancy 😉 My Mom wanted a broccoli cheddar quiche for Mother’s Day, which made it easy to pick out my next baking experiment. Not as pretty as the pineapple upside down cake, but still pretty tasty! I did cheat a little and use a premade pie crust. By and large… Continue reading Baking Experiment: Egg Pie
I did a little bit of work on several projects this week – everything is moving along, even if a little bit slowly! About 40 rows from done on the back of my gansey! I do still have the sleeves to do then, but at least the main part will be done. I’m looking forward… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
