As their father and I spread copious amounts of mulch on the gardens today, the girls walked to town to buy the ingredients for our annual Pi Day pie. IJK, who loves to cook, got right to work baking when they returned. This pie will be a wonderful reward for a hard day of slinging mulch.
I've been doing a lot of knitting that I can't share on the blog, but along the way I did manage to throw in a new hat design that I can show. I've named the hat "Dorothea" after Dorothea Lange who's moving photos from the depression are favorites of mine. My son is working on an English project based on the "Grapes of Wrath". As a result that era, it's music and images have been a theme in our house this week.
The pattern for Dorothea should be ready by mid week. It is worked in worsted weight yarn from the bottom up. You may use dpn's or circular needles for the project.
Off to check on that pie.
Happy Pi Day!
Oooohhhhh....now I want pie! =o\
