Yesterday I slip-stitched the hem into place, all by hand. I still need to
put in a skirt bar, but otherwise, it’s done!

We went to the market and got blueberries, apricots, peaches, zucchini,
parsley, tomato, cucumber, and an interesting wine-washed table cheese.

P went to the Grand Prix to watch the races over lunch; I stayed in and
finished knitting the last of a ball of yarn into icord.

Yesterday I plied another bobbin of Romney yarn, and made soap and forgot
to add the essential oils. I’ll cut it today and decide whether or not to
rebatch it on the weekend and add them back in.

We went to the farmers market and got asparagus, zucchini, bok choy,
parsley, and sunflower sprouts. P got some Greek donuts as a snack and I
hopped over to the geagle to get sunflower oil, which they didn’t have, so
I got avocado oil instead. I just needed something for high-heat sautées
and tarkas.

The alpaca blanket had been shedding, so I put it through the wash and hung
it out to dry. The rain forecast was canceled.

The heat was oppressive, so I spent the rest of the day in the AC. I
finished the knit dishcloth, did some reading on box pleats, and sketched
out a design for a new skirt. Hiding the back zip was a puzzle, as were
pockets, but I think I have solutions for both that I like. We did the
crossword, and played a game of scrabble. Made some progress on Gerty’s
embroidery project. Ultimately a good day.

Yesterday we went to the first sqhill farmers market of the season! Very
exciting. Strawberries, rhubarb, dandelion greens, spinach, parsley,
cucumber, tomato. I made strawberry-rhubarb sauce.

I finished another bobbin of Romney singles, planted bush beans,
schnittgold sunflowers, and torch tithonia, and took a sizable nap.
Slightly rough food day, but it’s just in time for seasonal new ingredients.
