My husband also harvested all of our onions and dry beans. We started our onions from seed for the first time this year and no one thought those little guys would size up. They did really well, I am happy to report, so we'll have lots of onion for cooking this Winter. Hooray!
Another news item: I knit my first ever hat! It is a beginner's pattern from Purl Bee. All you do is knit a rectangle, sew the sides together and gather the top. Sadly, I started this hat months ago and I finally finished it. I do want to get better at knitting, but I don't know if I have the patience for it. Crocheting is so much faster. I really like the look and feel of knit though; oh- dilemma! There is a Lion Brand pattern for a sweater that I would love to try to make. The front and back are granny squares and the rest is knit. Maybe someday...?

Earlier this week, I started crocheting a baby sweater that has a cable pattern, but it has proved to be more complicated than I originally thought. I also have spotted some mistakes. I have more of a Tim Gunn attitude to "Make it work," but I think I may want to tear it out and start over. What would you do?
Is anyone working on Christmas presents yet?
(That's right, I said it. Christmas will be here before we know it!)
Bundle up and get crafty. <3
