My Profile for Ravelry here.

I am very enamored with the vegetable dumplings from our Chinese restaurant in town.  How hard could it be??  Cabbage, carrots, some garlic.  Easy right?

In my mind it was.  I didn’t realize that the veg you are chopping up will have to fit into a small wonton wrapper.  I should of had the BIG wonton wrappers, and chopped up the vegs really small.  Other than that problem, they were easy and quick to steam and so good!!

I made a dipping sauce out of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger and garlic that I could drink with a straw.  :)

It was a very rainy couple days, so I was able to finish up some projects:

Summer Tank-

Booties that still need a pom-pom-

Almost finished Sackboy from Little Big Planet-

This sweater, really is a pretty cool looking sweater.   I thought it would be really great to try knitting this for myself.  I started in November, the perfect month for imagining  a cowl neck sweater and a denim jacket.

I knit sporadically, often going weeks without opening my project bag, and in the middle of a heat wave in July, I found myself really close to the finish line.  So here I am in a sweaty pony tail, in 80% humidity, not to0 keen on touching ANY kind of fuzzy wool article.

So, I cut the sleeves, and figured since I wear a scarf 100% of the time after September 1st, I cut the collar too.  I think this would be more practical for me anyway.

Sweater info here , and here.  I remembered I was knitting a sweater for myself and thought I’d really like to wear it on a chilly September morining.  So I was knitting with wool during our heatwave  thinking of denim jackets, and scarves.

Can’t say anything about this yet.  Shh.

What’s been going on?  I don’t know.  LIFE.  I must of forgotten that I actually have a blog.  Sorry.

I haven’t finished anything!  My Sweater , nothing!!  I’ve started a blanket for my soon to be niece:

Now it should be nothing but knitting, I hope.
