Cauliflower? tastes like broccoli

At the coop check out came these incredible cauliflowers, I couldn't resist. Then I made an impossible mould. I wonder if I will be able to produce anything with it.

Christmas Already?

Justine spent the night, then we all went to the New Victory to see Peter and the Wolf. It was very good, especially the first act which was added in. Everyone loved it.

Since Lucien recently purchased an X-Box from Dan's friend he and his brothers were very anxious to go to GameStop. So we walked down to 34th Street to find one. Christmas was everywhere. These Target adds were particularly NY.

The Macy windows were the same again.

Time to write those letters.

Sheep Walk?

Gael told us he doesn't "...sheep walk, you know when you are sleeping...". Well I guess that makes sense. Once you have counted so many you may need to round them back up for the next time! Or is this a side effect of a fiber obsessed mother?

Finished!!!!

Tada! I have to get a better picture. Lucien is waiting for a special occasion to wear his sweater for the first time.

Hoosier solutions make good road trips

Gael and I went on an adventure today. Gael was amazed by the train "crossing the road". We had so much fun together. We bought two cabinets for the kitchen, one Hoosier and one MacDougal. I love the instant kitchen. Gael loved all the snacks. We went to Alburtis, NJ and back. Everyone else was home doing their school work!

Of course when I got home I realized these were slightly wider than my first one and wouldn't go through the door, even when taken off its hinges! Luckily, the electricians were there to be helpful and lift it through the window! Thank you.

Lucien's sweater and friend's birthday

Lucien trying on his sweater to check the neckline and underarms. Good fit, but I will do the neck too ruffly the first time and have to redo it. He is holding all that is left over of the wool, just made it. I would never have been able to duplicate the indigo dye color. Today was C's birthday. Dorina brought over cake and we had tea. 10!

Knitting get together every Sunday

Today was glorious, what beautiful weather, beautiful sunset....
a day to spend enjoying, friends, food, knitting... Ellen and I planned a knitting group while at the Sheep and Wool Festival and so far every Sunday has had an event but today.
Ellen and I had Eggs Benedict at La Focaccia and then armed with our knitting and hot chocolate from the Chocolate Bar headed for the Highline.
What I didn't anticipate were the crowds!
Despite all the people we found a coveted spot and had a relaxing time basking in the sun, talking and knitting. Friends passed by and added to the joy of the day.
The sun set was gorgeous....
almost finished Lucien's sweater! so close....
