Slow Knitting Week

Hi, a very slow knitting week for me.
I had a few repeats done on the Truffle Hunting
Socks, but I did not like the pooling...at all!

 The pattern is nice and I will do again, but with
solid or semi solid yarn.

So I ripped....wahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Started over..this time with 68 stitches instead of 72.
Knitting knits of ribbing TBL.

 I will do something plain..the yarn is so pretty...want
to showcase it.  Rowan Fine Art.

Did not work much on the other socks either...
Snowfall socks.   Pattern is written for 68 stitches,
but I  need 80. So I did 2 at beginning, middle and end
of pattern on each side ....it is working, I think.

Ruth finished up her True colors shawl by Melanie Berg.
So pretty. I saw it this week before it was blocked and the
colors are stunning !  Very big.

Martha update in her own words:

Ok, these are my sleeves. They are 19” long. I’m supposed to make them 20” but I don’t like them long so I’m going to stop here and measure them on my grey sweater from last year. I love those sleeves especially the length. I’m busy tonight so I’ll finish them this week, I think.
 

 This sweater is Brekmickle by Louisa Harding. This yarn maker is unknown. I bought it at a web sale years ago....  I’m almost done, yeah! Rhinebeck coming...

I love them too!

In other news:
We made a GIANT batch of sauce yesterday.
1 and 1/4 bushel of tomatoes. Joe set up a station outside
so the mess was not in the house.  We did tomatoes, then
peppers and onions. Some spices...So good. we use it for
goulash and chili in the winter.
Cooked for a few hours yesterday and all day today.
We are having goulash for dinner..yum!  this pot is 3/4 full..
it cooks down a lot which is good..thickens it.

I also made some sauerkraut and sausage for dinner this week.
The secret is washing it, then adding sweet onion and an
apple.

Of course we need bread to go with it...Almost ready
for the oven.

Joe /Joey and friend Allen went fishing today.

Yes, that is a lot of fish. Joe found his "sweet" spot in the lake.

I love this next picture. Ruth's husband Ray is fly fishing,.
I think this is calendar worthy.

Have a great week dear  blog readers....cross your fingers
I get more time to knit!
