Busy Summer

I have finished all the hand knitting lace parts of the aqua sweater and need to hang it on the machine. Other than that, we have been busy working in the garden and harvesting the unexpectedly early crop of golden plums. I remember back to when I was a kid and we had to sit at a table chopping fruit up by hand for jams, but now we just cut the fruit away from the seeds and throw it into the food processor. I package the prepared fruit up and freeze it to make into jam later, because nobody wants to be slaving over a stove canning when it is 104 degrees out there.

This seems to be a slow year for knitting so far, but at least I am sewing a lot.
