An Unusual Weekend

When you get out of the habit of blogging, it’s hard to remember to start up again 🙂 I’ve been a busy girl, especially since this is canning season. This weekend alone produced 14 Quarts and 1 pint of dill pickles, a batch of amazingly wonderful honeydew and nectarine ice cream, and a growing crush on Gene Kelly after having seen An American in Paris for the first time.

The weekend wasn’t all fun though. On Friday night after we were asleep our car was hit (while we were parked, in the lot behind our building). We found it on Saturday morning. Not a lot of damage, but they left no note, so I called the police and filed a hit & run report. Later we found out it was a neighbor who also lives in our building. We got insurance swapped and all, but dealing with the insurance company, and waiting 2 hours for the police to show up, and trying not to be super mad at the neighbor for being an ass and not leaving a note kind of put a damper on the weekend. Today I get to bug people on the phone until they pay for the repairs. I did find a twee baby snail while I was waiting for the cops though….

I’ve got a few new projects on the needles. The sock for the Knit Purl sock club’s November shipment is in the works, and I’m working more on the as yet unnamed shawl with interesting construction. I refer to it as the Olivia Shawl in my head, because the colorway is called Olivia (I love it so much!). I’m gonna have a post for you in a few days about it, with pictures of the process and all that. And some book projects are coming along nicely.

More later,
M
