Yay!! A student from @burrolibrary Knitting Club sent a photo of her first finished object. We call that an FO in the knitting world. Such a thrill. The scarf was made using the pattern called stockinette stitch: knit a row, purl a row, repeat. She learned to cast-on first, then to knit, purl, bind-off, and add a fringe. Grateful to the generous donors out there in social media land who gave yarn, needles, and a download of the @how.to.knit app! #ifeelsoaccomplished #knittingclub #knitscarf #skillsetbeginningknitting
This morning, I woke up and was thinking about the spring onions I needed for a quiche I had planned to make. It was pouring rain outside. I put on my NZ muck boots, a heavy robe, got an umbrella, walked through our hugely soupy/muddy backyard, past the chicken coop where the hens were still asleep, and yanked out these onions. It was so darn satisfying. I had planted 200 onion sets in a raised bed back in the fall (10/28/21). I’ve been pulling from the crop all winter. Even with two snow storms and freezing weather the plants are thriving. I’m amazed; I never even covered them! Anyway, they cleaned up well. I picked kale for the quiche while I was out there. It is thriving, uncovered, as well. #wintergardening #satisfactionguaranteed #whywedoit #kitchengarden #backyardfarming Recipe link for bacon and kale quiche in profile.
