On the Deck
Oh, Summertime! There is nothing I enjoy more than sitting on the deck, cozying up with a knitting project or a good book, and taking in all the beauty around me. My little garden is going strong, and I replanted kale and lettuce (a deer, a rabbit and some squirrels had a nice feast on my previous plantings!)
We have some nice new yarns that I can't wait to knit with. More Cobasi sock yarn arrived as well as a new worsted weight merino and bamboo blend.
