Ah, That’s Better-

Our big apple tree is breathing a sign of relief

after giving up most all of his fruits.

This is maybe half of what we handed off to friends for cider-making

I kept some for our own use, and have a couple boxes of undamaged grounders that will be sheep snacks over the next few weeks.

And there are still some up there-

that I’m ok with leaving to the birds.

There are enough to go around. And around. And around 🙂

And speaking of going around and around, I’ve been making pretty good progress on the shawl collared vest.

About 4 inches ago I put the underarm stitches on holders and cast on the steek stitches for the arm holes. Also started decreases to shape the elongated v-neck.

So far, so good. Maybe by next weekend I’ll be ready to sew and cut the steeks!
