Embroidery Notes
Another panel down. I’m really enjoying this. It’s not that I don’t like knitting anymore, but it’s nice to have something different work on for the moment.
Knitting Notes
I’ve frogged the Joshaqan Socks – they didn’t look good with this yarn. It needed something a little simpler. So, I’ve switched over to the Woodland Walks Socks by This Handmade Life. I do like the look of this with the yarn better, so far.
Garden Notes
The community garden summer bed is officially put to bed – I’ve signed off on removing everything except the winter greens. Those are still looking pretty good, though it got into the 20s last night, so not sure what the chard looks like this morning.
