Mason-Dixon Knitting

Baby Genius Burp Cloth


Ball Band Dish Cloth

Dishcloths are already my favorite thing to knit, but I really got on a roll with these slip stitch patterns from Mason-Dixon knitting using cream and white. The yarn is little hard to tell apart while knitting in the dark, but I think the finished result is subtle and lovely. Please know that due to having giant cones of white and cream kitchen cotton on hand I have made way more than these two.

Self-striping socks

For the first time I actually tried to match a pair of self-striping socks. The first pair took a few false starts to get the second sock just right, so for the next pair I made a note of where in the skein I started my cast on. It worked like a charm on the first try.

Gigantic Fava Beans

From left to right: A quarter, a dried bean, a bean soaked overnight.

I'm hoping once they are cooked they will be the size of slices of bread and I can pick them up with both hands and eat them.

Seven Pounds of Grapes

After being mashed and fermenting for one week.

More Free Fruit

Seven pounds of Scuppernong grapes before being turned into booze.
