Once my own life had settled down, I finished the sweater I had been knitting before taking Mary in.
In the photo of magazine, it looked a lovely cardigan, Lured by those words, "Inspiration comes from Paris." But I got the length wrong and adjusted the collar three times, then there wasn't enough yarn left, so the design has changed quite a bit. I feel frustrated when my knitting don't go well..
I baked my birthday cake. I can't make anything elaborate, but cream and strawberries are a truly delicious combination. You agree too.
We grew and harvested rye. This was just for practice.
Our mentor is an elderly farmer who lives nearby.
At first glance, the rye crop seemed to have succeeded. However, the harvest season in Japan coincides with the rainy season. Exposed to prolonged rain, the rye began to sprout; with no dry days to follow, it succumbed to mold and was ruined.
Mary’s fleece had become matted and felted with seeds and thorns, leaving only about 600 grams, ( Usually 3 kilograms ?) I have started spinning a little of it. The resulting yarn will likely be of poor quality, but it came from a time when Mary was suffering, I couldn't bring myself to throw it away.
Dear friends, how have your days been ? Are you okay with the heatwave !?
I'm knitting a sweater at a leisurely pace—mostly on rainy days.
