Today:

  • Stewed tomatoes cooking for the freezer:(yep, there are still tomatoes)  And Anne, still NO FROST! 
  • Fresh yougurt for cheese.  From time to time I show pictures of my neighbors flock.  His sheep are milkers. (My yougurt is cows milk.)  This part of the state has always been dairy.  Within a mile or so of my house there are two award winning cheese makers.  Amazing, huh?
  • Tying skeins for dyeing.  It would be a perfect day for this activity if I can fit it in.

  • A walk with the camera.. just checking things out.

  • and the Ribby.. no, the Paddler hasn’t bitten the dust, but her time is rationed, you know a couple inches of Ribby, a couple rows of Paddler.  The lace has my heart just now, but… time… aaahh… time… the Ribby comes first.

    The photos are fabulous! This sounds like it’s going to be The Year of The Ribby at Rhinebeck. But unless I can really crank on mine this weekend, I won’t have one. Work has suddenly gotten very busy and also I’ve been sick, so everything is backing up. Damnit. I thought for sure I was going to have time…..

    Wow. Just beautiful. I want a shawl the color of those ferns.

    Wow, those ferns are stunning, and so similar in color to my own Wool-Peddler-In-Progress!
    Speaking of which, I am well into the lace pattern now, and decided not to muck about with trying to add repeats in sooner. Seems that, if I did it, the halfway point would be right spang in the middle of a sl 1, k2tog, psso. (I could fudge somehow, maybe, if I thought about it hard enough, but my brain is overloaded this week thanks to work. The last think I want to do when get home is THINK. LOL.)
    I ran into a wee problem with the number of stitches I was supposed to have when starting the lace section, so I left off the two center increases on the last increase row to get the necessary number of stitches for my set-up row. So far, it appears that this will work. I was really surprised when I conscientiously went to pick up the errata and found out that this was no help at all. Oh, well. It’s still an easy and pleasant pattern, and I love the way it looks in my autumn colorway. Again, so like those beautiful ferns!
    Off to work now, but wishing I could take a stroll through your gorgeous woods instead!

    Lovely pictures…….can you believe how warm it has been? Our leaves just barely have started turning over the last few days. We are usually at peak foliage right now. Amazing!
    Ribby is going to look great!
