2011 in pictures: august

looks like last august was a pretty slow month. as it should be, in my opinion! it precedes what is always my (everyone’s?) busiest season, september through december. so i tend to slow down, not schedule any classes, enjoy the outdoors and prepare for the coming months. august also means county fair time, and i spun with my guild in the Sheep to Shawl competition.

the cucumbers kept on coming… this year we have big plans for pickling.

i began two sweaters in late august; one knit and one crochet version of the legendary EPS sweater formula. they were intended to be my Rhinebeck sweaters, but only one got finished in time. note to self: this year start the Rhinebeck sweaters earlier! or perhaps, only try to do ONE.

more silly photo shoots took place, with the chickens and gertie always game to jump in. ah, how i wish i could do this all year round! i just don’t like indoor photos nearly as much…
