Green Thumb

This tomato plant looks rather awful, but the tomatoes sure are tasty. I've been wondering if it is the salt in the air, especially the fog, of which we have had quite a bit.

Knit/Purl Hat


On this version of the "August hat" the crown decreasing is much better.

Street Light

The Department of Public Works must be bored now that the tourists are gone. Last night at 11:45 a crew arrived, with multiple flashing yellow lights, to change the light bulb in the street light outside our bedroom window.

Feather and Fan Scarf

After much playing around with the feather and fan stitch and placement of colors, I finally managed to complete a scarf. With this pattern, the color placement really changes the look of it.

tourists

Tourists - they seem to have evaporated with the morning fog. It has been bustling here all summer and yesterday they were gone. Once again, it is a quiet seaside community.

August Hat


This was a fun hat to knit using a combination of knit and purl stitches. Also, it is a good way to use a multi-colored yarn.
