Busy Bee

I have been a very busy bee the past few weekends...and I have the pictures to prove it!  Not all of it knitting, although I did get quite a bit of knitting done on our vacation. 

This was weekend one.  I am surprised at how long it took me to can just 22 cans of tomatoes.  As soon as I had help it went twice as fast, but bring on soups and stews....I'm ready for you!

Then off on vacation for 5 days of relaxing and fishing.  The weather in Nebraska was cool and I am happy to say I only wore shorts for part of one day.  My favorite weather!  I am a typical knitter in that I always wish I lived in Canada...or Maine...somewhere not so hot!  Maybe someday.

I put that sideways one on there to see if you are paying attention!!  Really though I haven't figured out how to turn them yet...still a good catch though!  And finally some knitting....

This is my Rosamund's Cardigan and I am using a scruptious yarn Elsebeth Lavold Baby Llama in Peony.  I have actually already knit this project to this point one time before, when I realized an error way too far back...ok...the beginning...so I started it over.  Then I experience an enormous brain fart and suddenly my cables didn't look so pretty.  Not to worry, the lovely Max at Gove City Yarns hooked  me up as always and I am now back on track.  The baby blanket is in a stagnated state however, I am sorry to say.  But hopefully as the weather cools off I will come back to eventually. 

I had this whole system rigged up to make one gigantic circular needle, and sadly, almost every time I pick it up something goes wrong.  The last time I lost stitches, it was almost all of them and it was almost more than I could handle.  Where do I get off thinking that I can just make the biggest connective circle of knitting ever known to man and get away with it?  I only have a few more color changes left, so I am not giving up....but if I weren't pregnant, I would be drinking wine to get through it!
