I single crocheted around the outside edge (after sewing on the swatch- probably not the ideal order of operations), then steam blocked it. Wins: Great use of swatch. Great place to put buttons and enamel pins. Great way to get more life out of a bag I may have donated but is certainly still useful to me.  Knitting In Passing    In visiting friends this weekend two brothers told me stories about their mother's quilting and knitting, the things she made for them and the memories they still cherish.  I used my half-knit sock as a beer koozie when my hand was too cold and I couldn't find the one I packed.

Refugee hats for Maine. Information from Clara Parkes on Instagram: Having fled their homes in Congo and Angola and then traveled 10,000 miles they didn’t exactly have time to stock up on warm winter woolens before they got there. This is where knitters and crocheters come in. They need warm hats and mittens especially for babies and children. Address: Maine Access Immigrant Network 237 Oxford St. Suite 25A Portland, ME 04101   Life in Focus For our annual Woodchopping Weekend Party we bought and used compostable plates, bowls and utensils. Felt great not throwing out a bunch of trash! We had some recyclables, but mostly cans. Bought growlers to cut down on the single server beer containers. Have still been hitting the gym hard. Consistently 3-4 days per week now instead of 2. Finalizing tech edit of a hat pattern, and knitting up 2 more. Updating those notes. Feeling very happy with my progress this year but will be happier when I get each of them across the finish line. On a Happy Note Camping in VT. Exploring new trails on our friend's property which inspired Dan and I to do some more work on our own land. Woodchopping weekend- funny moment when talking about colorwork and being unsure if letters would stand out. Dan contributes “once you swatch it you’ll be able to tell” Riley, Aila, Oisin slept over afterwards. Riley says she’s going to carry on Uncle Dan’s pancake tradition. Tune in after the credits for some audio with Riley and Aila.  Quote of the Week Change may not always bring growth, but there is no growth without change.” ― Roy T.
