I’ve missed knitting, and I’m a bit disenchanted with my carding and spinning tests right now so I went to the only project I have on the needles that I don’t hate.

The Philosopher’s Wool shawl, which I’m knitting in a cone shape and will cut open and fringe when it’s finished. I did the math and am about 22-25% done. It’s a delicious dose of color and a nice break for me. I was pleased that after so long a hiatus, it was so easy to pick up where I left off. The top of my hand is where I started a couple days ago.

We’re having some cloudy mornings, which are really nice. Yesterday, the kids and I went with Grandma, Aunt and cousins to pick blueberries. I have about 20 pounds now and have to figure out what in the world to do with them. You don’t make blueberry jam. Or blueberry pie (I don’t think). I thought about trying to borrow someone’s ice cream maker, because fresh blueberry ice cream sounds delightful. I’m going to try to bake some blueberries with my granola and see what happens to them after 6 hours at 175 degrees.

I know you can freeze them, but then what? Blueberry smoothies aren’t my favorite, and once we froze the berries last year, I didn’t do much with them.

My sisters-in-law and dear M-I-L are coming over tonight for a girls night and I want to make something… any thoughts?
