If you will remember, November I moved houses with my family. Corona virus impacted the world. This caused me to have more time caring for my granddaughter, more time with my mother in law, more time cooking, continue to unpack and travel for laundry and showering due to plumbing issues. I do now have a washline up. So even though I have to take the washing out, I can hang it up in the sun to dry.
I have also gotten back into canning. I'm putting up a lot of meats and fruit. I'd love to be able to do vegetables too but I don't have a garden, only 4 large tubs for raised beds. Two of them are holding tomatoes, one has been taken over by cukes and the last one has peppers of all kinds. The one tomato tub is being systemically chewed up by some animal or other.
My plans for my knitting are a blanket in bernat blanket stripes for the granddaughter who lives with us. I also plan to make three comodo sweaters, one size 4 for our granddaughter who lives here and two size 10 for the California granddaughters.
The blanket is campfire knitting. The way hubby works there's not much of that time. The comodo sweaters are being worked in mandala by lion brand yarn on size 8 or 9.
The sweaters are earmarked for Christmas. We will see. The blanket is for her big girl bed when she gets one.
Update:::: Here it is the day after Labor Day in the US. I have been slowly working on the blanket. I have been turned onto the local produce auction. I won 3 cases of tomatoes, 2 1/2 bushel boxes of yukon gold potatoes, 2 1/2 bushel boxes of red skin potatoes, 2 bushel boxes of acorn squash and patty pan squash, 2 1/2 bushel boxes of green beans. I have been working on these the last 2 weeks. I want carrots soon and sweet potatoes. I'm not doing corn. That is too time consuming for the end result. I have been working on things for my knitting guild to plan for the next year. Have I done anything for me? Not in a thousand years. Some days I feel happy to get the floor washed. My peaches from my tree have gotten mold from the weather or squirrels have taken bites out.
