I decided to keep the scarf short so I still had (hopefully) enough yarn left to make a hat. Only the second thing I've actually managed to finish knitting. The rest still sit on their needles. #knitting 🧶

Alberta separatists have gone to D.C. offering fresh water and oil in exchange for American support – and Republican operatives have provided tactical assistance inside the province

Accidentally chopped my thumb cutting peppers and haven't been able to hold onto crochet properly, so I decided to try knitting a scarf with some new yarn. It's awkward with a big chunky bandage, but it's working. Slowly. Yarn is Bernat Symphony in the pomegranate color. #knitting 🧶

The beginning of a knitted scarf sits on a desk. It is a mix of brown, red, and white, and the yarn is roving style. The scarf is 5 knit and 5 purl repeated.

I processed three of my home grown sugar pumpkins yesterday and started things off by making some pumpkin pie. Today, I added to the pumpkin theme and made a bunch of muffins. Still have more pureed pumpkin in the fridge. #gardening #baking #pumpkin #fall
