Finished a new pattern for fingerless mitts. They are going to be gifted to my Pastor's wife. I am going to have it up for test knitting for a little while before making it available to the public. We went to my grandsons Soccer game yesterday. His team won again! It is so cute to see the little four year old playing soccer. You can't even see their legs in the little uniforms!

For a four year old he is really focused on where he is supposed to put the ball and has made several goals.
We do have fun watching him.
Have a great day!!
God Bless you!!

Chestnuts

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire... La La la la


Our Chestnut trees are really over producing this year! We are also feeding the local deer. because there are deer tracks under one of the trees. You can see where they were stomping the hulls off of the nuts. I had to look online to find some recipes to try out. My husband roasted some in the oven and he said they were great! Of course he did it while I was gone and ate them all! :) I want to figure out how to make Chestnut Flour with some of them. Chestnut flour pancakes are great. We pick up nuts off the ground one day. Then you look and the next day there are just as many as you picked up the day before. These pictures are just from one picking!

On the knitting scene: I am knitting some fingerless gloves for my Pastor's wife. I am designing them as I go. I will be putting the pattern up in Ravelry soon. They will have a lacy leaf pattern on the back of the hand. I have seen that there is not very many lace mitts patterns out there. So I may just have to design a few more of them.
Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!

I know I haven't posted in a while. Been busy knitting. trying to get the Sports Car scarf done. Fixing up grammatical errors on the Corn on the Cob pattern, which is available in Ravelry for two months free. Then it will go up for sale. Starting some fingerless mitts for my granddaughter Valarie. Trying to think of other things to make for Christmas gifts. Lots going on in my head.
Also the tomatoes are ripe in the garden. The squash and cucumbers are done. Dead vines all around. It has been really dry here lately. We got a little rain yesterday. It seems the rains come and they just rain all around us and we don't get it.
I need to get out there and do some weeding. Maybe today sometime....... :)
Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!
