This week has been productive in terms of knitting. I am 99% finished with the Baby Surprise Jacket. I just need to finish weaving in the ends and to sew on some buttons. Just a word of advice, if you find something you really like on etsy, don't pin it on pinterest; it's almost a guarantee that someone will buy it before you do. This is what happened with the buttons I was hoping to get for this sweater (and on several other occasions); I think I have finally learned my lesson.
This morning I started working on my next project. I am knitting a Lacie Prairie Shawl. I wanted a warm and practical shawl and this pattern definitely fits the bill. Lets hope I finish it before all of the cooler days of early spring have passed. It'd be a shame to have to wait until autumn to try it out.
Reading wise, I am still reading and enjoying The Art of Fermentation
. I am getting more and more excited about fermentation. I just need to figure out what I want to ferment; I am drawn to the idea of pickling lemons so perhaps that is where I will start.Want to read about what other people are knitting and reading? Join Ginny over at Small Things for her weekly Yarn Along!
fermenting things still scares me and I've made a few jars of pickled beets and a turnip radish medley. in doing so I've decided I don't like pickled things unless they are pickles :)
ReplyDeleteEm, have you made kefir? That is fermentation too but with out the pickles!
DeleteI own Wild Fermentation by the same author and just love it! Sometimes my kitchen looks like a science lab more than a kitchen thanks to all of the things fermenting- things like sauerkraut, kombucha, ginger beer, and kimchi. But we love it! Sorry the buttons were sold before you could get them. I'll remember that the next time I go and pin something. :)
