I finished the Hexi cardigan
It turned out well I think. It fits me so that’s a bonus. I’ll definitely make more in various sizes. If no one wants them they’ll go into the charity pile at knitting
I’ve sorted the tea towels and ironed them
Now I just have to trim them and work out how to place them
Different sizes and the two different ways the towels go will determine how it all works. I’m thinking two quilts rather than one large one
The asparagus needed to be cut back.

A couple had some new spears. So I ate those. Yummy
Looks much better. I’ll get some organic compost to top dress And hopefully we will get some yummy asparagus in the spring
I’ve harvested some of the dwarf cabbages and have prepped them in here.

First time making sauerkraut ever. So also the first time using the crockpot
I’ve followed the YouTube and all the salted cabbage is in here.

It’s a water seal system so all I have to do is make sure the water level covers the small hole
In six weeks I’ll have yummy sauerkraut
Well here’s hoping anyway
The hexi cardi looks great. I much prefer those crochet garments when they're in one colour. Yours looks elegant.
ReplyDeleteHave never eaten sauerkraut. Im going to pickle a few cucumbers.
It’s just pickled cabbage. I used to make bread and butter pickled cucumbers they were really yum
DeleteI'm wondering if there's a pattern for the hexi cardi? It does drape nicely. Did you crochet it in cotton?
ReplyDeleteNo it’s a wool, silk acrylic blend.
DeleteIf you Google hexi cardigan I’m sure a pattern will come up. You can also check out you tube
That cardigan is lovely! I'm not a fan of sauerkraut myself but it's supposed to be super healthy to eat.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother used to make it. And it’s really good for balancing your gut flora
DeleteI’ve missed it since she has gone
F loves the colour of your cardi - did you add some extra length? And she's keen to know how the fermented cabbage goes.
ReplyDeleteYes I did add length. I ran out of the main colour so I used another that’s very similar. I think it works
DeleteYour cardigan is just lovely. Fermented cabbage is an acquired taste - not mine!
ReplyDeletecardigan was quite popular when I start high school.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on, and stay safe.
