I'm spending my time volunteering, reading books, knitting, and hopefully paying attention to the world around me. I love taking photographs of the flowers and vegetables I grow.
First hat out of the basket this year. I loved doing the stripe. Knit in Vintage DK. (Faux Pom)

Finished knitting these cute stuffed squashes - which sounds like a recipe, but it’s polyfill

Update 4 - the squash are stuffed and the skeins are rolled

It’s International Holocaust Remembeance Day and I’d like to tell you about the poetry of Murray Reiss, my dear friend’s step-dad. His father’s family was completely wiped out in the Holocaust. The legacy of hate is generational.

Last year I basically didn’t knit at all. I’m trying to knit every ball of yarn that’s sitting in my basket. I just finished all the leftover cotton yarn by making patchwork style dishcloths. Feels very resourceful and the basket is looking lighter
