babies are growing healthy.

new lettuce to be, this time 4 season variety

a ronin tomato plant self seeded from last year. oak leave lettuce in the future. curious about how the tomato plant will do.saved ruccula seeds for fall planting.

the last lettuce yield was astonishing, we ate for about 2 months and in the end had to give some friends and the neighbors.

forever grateful

to my bestie. Was guided impeccably to create the short rows for the flared hem while trashing DAK. plain hilarious how it described the program as clunky and windows 90's.

the sleeves were also well described just needed a nudge to get the proper instructions. just do a screen capture,upload it and ask tell me how to knit this and then i get instructions, step by step without assuming that i really know what i'm doing. my case is wanting more than what my knowledge allows and i'm aware of that¯\_(ツ)_/¯ blinded by ambition the next project is going to be a fully flared back.

on another note knitting tow linen is a royal pain, although much,much better that weaving it.

conversations with style

two years in the making.finally got to treat the hakama i brought back from japan.the net advised to add salt to the bath, which reacted with the hydro giving the water that characteristic color. the rtinse was unexpectedly clear, no unfixed indigo washed out ,therefore it still crocks,although not as much as in the beginning. needs another treatment until i can wear it with a white t-shirt.or perhaps two treatments.

dying-mind the spelling- to wear it.

first week without tai-chi, need judicious time management.
