knitting!


I have been knitting — in fact I have a few finished projects and two just-about-finished projects! Here is one of the finished to share — it is the slouched tuva hat knit with my very own handspun! and a link for all you ravelers! I think I will add an increase after the ribbing on the next one I knit for an even slouchier effect.

D#1 called this morning with some terrible news —- a huge fire in town, luckily no one was hurt and it was not her apartment, but two of her friends are displaced. : (

Mangia!


OMG — how great is this packaging?! I ran into Waldbaum’s last night to grab two things and saw a display of this pasta.

Now I want every box of these. I want to hang them on my kitchen wall.

Did I ever tell you that Boar loves trains? He has a dream of walking the right of way ala The Station Agent. On our way to Rhinebeck he noticed lots of pedestrians on the old train bridge that crosses the Hudson in Poughkeepsie. Sunday morning we drove around until we found the one end of the path. The bridge (and surrounding pathways) have been turned into a state park – Walkway Over the Hudson! Boar was thrilled!
