Time to cast on the Titus sample - I think I'll start with the Baht 'At fingerless mitts. Yay!
I'll keep you posted. Cheers!
Journey-Along | Giveaway & a Peek...
Well, I somehow managed to relax on our vacation to visit my Colorado family this last weekend. I'm not good at relaxing, so getting in the car and leaving Wisconsin was a great way to force me to sit still for a bit (15+ hours of sitting still). I'll share more details on our trip in the near future...
Remember the Journey-Along July Giveaway that's coming up on July 15th? Well, here's a peek at the prize:
The winner will be randomly selected on Tuesday, July 15th. To be eligible for this and all giveaways, just make sure you've filled out this form and have cast on a Journey project (you only need to sign up once). Don't forget to check in on our Journey-along Ravelry thread and tag your projects with the hashtag #journeyalong. Full Journey-along details can be found here...
I do still have Inland on my needles, but working on a bulky-weight, one-piece, long-cardigan didn't seem to be the best car project, so today I want to show you these:
Yup, I'm working through Climb (for the 3rd time) and I cast these on in Colorado for my 'non-thinking' knitting - these will actually be for me. The yarn is Regia's Fluormania in the Neon Rainbow colorway - I'm a huge fan of Regia's super-durable sock yarn and this bright version is extra fun!
I didn't have time to wind the yarn into 2 balls before we left on vacation last week, so I decided to get crazy when I cast on and just 'go with it'. I'm working from the inside and outside of the ball so the stripes aren't matching up - deep breaths - but now they're both starting to stripe orange, so I'm feeling like there's a little less chaos here. lol!
I do have a couple other projects that I cast on when we were in Colorado and some other goodness to share, so stay tuned!
I'm off to try more of that relaxing thing. Cheers!
In the Kitchen | Veggies & Cold Brew
One of my favorite times of the year is here...
CSA season!!! Our local CSA is Good Earth Farm and they are wonderful! We get a small share since it's just the two of us, and it's usually more than enough (and then some). Our first delivery looks great and I really can't wait to gobble this up!
Did you notice the jar of dark deliciouness back behind the veggies? Yeah, I love coffee and with the warm weather... it's cold brew season!
I recently ordered some cold brew CoffeeSock filters to add to the already amazing Cuppow products we stock at Firefly Fibers and this week I finally tried one out...
In summary... The CoffeeSock is fabulous - the clean up is so easy - and the cold brew is delicious! All you need is a 64oz (half gallon) canning jar, 6 oz of ground coffee, filtered water, and 12-14 hours of patience to wait for it to be ready. Sadly, staring at it doesn't make it brew any faster.
It's well worth the wait and I'm sure to be full caffeinated the entire summer!
I'm off to get some packing done. We're getting ready to take a vacation next week - yes, you read correctly... a vacation. My dear cousin is kind enough to let Mr. Logan stay in her home, so he needed to get cleaned up. This last week we headed off to the doggie salon...
The poor boy had no idea of what torture laid ahead, but after some kicking and screaming with mama's departure during the drop off, he sure looks and smells awesome now!
Cheers!
