We're jammin'



And we're swatchin' for a new design:


And we're trying to beat the heat, with some sweater knitting.  Ok, the "beating the heat" part didn't actually work - that's what happens when you have a lap full of wool, but hey.

Also, because it was my birthday yesterday and it kind of bit (torrential rain for 48 hours = crazy barometric pressure + major humidity = massive sinus headache), I am going to offer up a giveaway!  I have a whole stack of Farmers Market Bags in progress and I'm going to give one of them away to one lucky reader!  Just leave a comment sometime within the next week (you're eligible if you comment before 12:00 pm, ADT on Monday, July 19th) and I will announce the winner on Tuesday!  The lucky winner will get an e-mail from me with photos of the colour choices they can choose from and I will send them a free bag.

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.  Good luck!

**EDITED TO ADD: Ok, folks, comments are now closed!  I'll be back shortly with a winner!  Thanks so much for all your wonderful comments!**

  3. I can't decide which is more gorgeous...the berries or the knitting...don't make me choose between them! And, thanks for the tutorials...I am feeling inspired!

  4. Happy birthday!!! Hope you had a lovely day, despite the weather. Did you get a chance to do some special birthday yoga? I owe you an email: I started yoga about six weeks ago, because of all your great advice, and I love it! I'm with you now: yoga? Want to do it every day! :)

  6. WELL! Such wonderful comments! I fear it's all going to go to my head!

    I'm so so so happy that you guys have tried the yoga and that it is helping you. There are no words to describe how awesome it feels to know that I was able to help you get in charge of your health. That is just wonderful!

    And photography and painting and knitting, too!?! Well, that's just icing on the cake, people!

  10. Our strawberries are all done around here(Central Ontario). I did manage to make some jam though before the season ended. Happy Birthday. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. I did reply to it but I don't think wordpress informs people of this. Love your photography.

  11. That's awfully pretty for just a swatch ;-)

    I know what you mean about the sweater knitting. I'm going to have a whole slew of socks and hats when winter comes around, because that's about all I can manage to have sitting on my lap in this heat.
