I had the most wonderful weekend. The Mr was in town for the weekend and we went up to our friend’s Jim & Carol’s place. It was fantastic and much needed.

The Mr had his first crop of carrots to harvest and I have to tell you that they were probably the most fabulous carrots ever. Yes, those are purple carrots mixed in there.

I’m a huge fan of men in the kitchen
This weekend Jim went all out for an early birthday dinner.

There were amazing steaks, fresh roasted veggies, lobster tails, cheesey rolls (which are almost the best thing in the entire world!), and cheese potatoes (see the big bowl of cheese? Yeah it was that awesome).
They got me the most awesome cake ever! I was really overwhelmed by all this because it’s been a long time since I’ve had friends do something for a birthday (because when your an adult your birthday usually falls on a monday
)
Carol knit my Post Modern scarf and it came out great. She used a worsted weight alpaca and I think that this will be lovely for the colder mountain winters.

There is much more knitting on the horizon and a few new patterns I’m working on. Hopefully soon I’ll have another knit heavy post


Happy Birthday! And I’m loving that scarf!
Carrot Man, magic carrot man.
What a beautiful picture of your pup!
