Yarn Along - #47

 
From Ginny
 ~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading?


I am still working on the baby sweater for my future niece or nephew. I got the entire bottom and right front done. I am on the back panel now. I even did my very first button holes. Yep - I am proud of myself!



As for reading - I have a lot of books and not much being done with them. I did get the new Catherine Coulter book from the library which I started. Other than that I have been doing this:

This is the latest batch: The black plums
Canning.
Lots of plums.
I bought 4 boxes.
I thought I got 80 pounds at 50 cents per pound.
Seems I got 112 pounds at 36 cents per pound. A much better deal.

So far I have red plums: 15 quarts and 8 pints plum halves and 8 pints and 21 half-pints jelly;
Black plums: 7 quarts plum halves and 7 pints and 14 half pints jelly. I still have one more box to process.

Hopefully I will get the reading list straightened out and get back to a better reading list and schedule - soon.

Gotta get to Ginny's to see what everyone else is doing as well.....

    Don't you just love the satisfaction of all those jars of goodness lined up after canning?

A New Start?

A test of sorts.....  I think I'm going to try something old-new.  It has been too many years since my last post. The world's differ...
