In today’s post I’d like to share my newest FO (finished object), a bit of gardening, and a lovely yarn store in Pacific Grove, California. It’s always fun to gather up the little things that have been inspiring me lately, so let’s just hop right in!

I was feeling pretty grumpy about my knitting after finally admitting defeat on a gorgeous (and expensive) project that was not working out and needed to be frogged. After all that frustration, I needed something sweet and uncomplicated on my needles—something guaranteed to make me happy. Enter Sprout! This little project felt exactly right. I already had my collection of yogurt pots saved and waiting, so all I needed was the yarn.
The designer happens to be a friend who works at my LYS, and when I stopped in to pick out yarn (impossible to imagine I had no brown or green in my stash that would work!) she was there and showed me a few more designs she’s currently working on. That only made me more excited to cast on.
These turned out so incredibly cute that I already know I’ll be making more of her designs soon. It takes just a tiny amount of yarn, very little time, and such a fun way to upcycle your pretty Le Fermiere pots.

Oh. My. The tomatoes! This has been a great tomato year!
I picked 5 buckets of tomatoes a few days ago and filled 4 roasters to the brim, including my enormous turkey roaster, and made 12 quarts of tomato sauce. It was really too much work to process that much in one day and I vowed to never get so behind in my sauce making again. I set aside the most beautiful tomatoes, below, for slicing and sharing.
