Yakima!
We go to Yakima every year to pick and buy produce
tomatoes
made into sauce
tomatillos
roasted and made into verde
eggplants sliced and browned
added to tomato sauce, onions, beef, and spices and made into
khoresht-e bademjan (Persian eggplant stew)
two boxes of ripe peaches eaten and shared with friends and family and baked into several peach pies!
Knitting? Oh, right, knitting, I was knitting a sock in the car on long drives to and from Yakima
Blue Moon STR lightweight in Raven Clan colorway Rook-y
(darker, more black in real life)
RESIST FAIL!
Blast that Portland with their “No Sales Tax”!
I was not planning to buy yarn.
Of course I wasn’t.
I wasn’t even planning to go to the yarn stores.
I ended up with some time to kill in Portland
and the next thing I knew,
I was looking at yarn on sale
and yarn that I had admired online
and No Sales Tax
and dh said “this is good color for socks”
and and and
I was shopping with knit1frog2 which is always dangerous, somehow it always seems like a good idea to ‘go ahead and get it’, even if she is only there by txt! (some of that stuff is hers!)
STR braun’s woods
DH likes the hiking socks I’ve knit for him and he finally convinced me to knit a pair for myself:
Blue Moon Socks That Rock Mediumweight
colorway Braun’s Woods
I am still trying to decipher what a sock will look like from looking at the STR hank.
Braun’s Woods in a hank & Braun’s Wood in a sock
Took the new socks huckleberry picking.
huckleberries
The huckleberries were pretty good, not the bonanza we enjoyed last year. The blueberries weren’t quite ready, I hope we can get back up there in a couple of weeks.
