Neck done

I've finished the shaping of the neck with the short rows with the smaller needles.

You can see the section that will become the sleeves, flanked by YO's. I also have one button hole done.

I wonder how much I'll be able to get done this weekend.

I've also been sidetracked by making Cinnamon Pull-A-Part bread....can you smell how delicious this is?

CSA Updates

This is our latest CSA share:

I just love these Gala apples! The beans bring back wonderful childhood memories of picking beans with my Grandpa in his garden. In fact I would sneak eating a few raw before they made it to Gram's hands!

I think I also owed you a photo from last week:

There has been knitting. Stay tuned!

CSA Catch-up

I owe you the past couple weeks of CSA pictures.

Yummy!

So much for healthy as we picked up cider donuts one week!

This photo is missing one nectarine. However, I'm not taking the blame on the eating prior to the photo...this one belongs to DH. He thought the nectarines look so good he was eating one as the camera was taking photos.

The freezing of the blueberries is going quite well. I have a quart already, not counting the above pint, which will still make a nice pie for us.

I am so glad we joined this year. I find myself eating more fruits than I normally would have. We also have enjoyed the steamed veggies!

CSA

I can't wait to use these red potatoes. The DH cuts them up in bite size pieces, seasons them and sets them to bake.

I'm also stocking up on the blueberries as I intend to make a blueberry pie when it gets cooler around here. So, the majority of them are frozen. Did you notice they lasted longer than in week's photo?

CSA

Here is our latest CSA photo.

Did you notice that half the blueberries are already gone? This is a photo about 2 hours after we picked up our share. I just couldn't help myself as they were so delicious!

Knitting resumes tomorrow as we have some cleaning and weeding of the garden to do.

CSA

Yes, I'm switching topics from knitting to food. Specifically fruits and vegetables today.

We signed up at our local in town farm for a CSA package. I've always like the idea of them, investing in the local farm. I also wanted to make sure we had fresh fruits and vegetables through the seasons. We also knew in doing this we could cut back on our own garden.

In fact our farm was purchased a few years back from a foreclosure, the bank was just about to sell the land to a builder....thank goodness that didn't work out...and this multi-generation family purchased it to keep it as a working farm.

This is the share we picked up this weekend:

The strawberries are just so sweet! We are going to make strawberry shortcake, as the DH is really wanting to make real whipped cream!

I also didn't post what we got last weekend:

I ended up eating one packages of strawberries within that week, and froze the other. The lettuce was great for not only our sandwiches that week, but also provided a cup for our bunny, Bianca the entire week!

Knitting will be back next post! It is finally nice and sunny here, so maybe I can talk DH to take some shawl photos that I owe you!
