pandasheartWe'll start off our update with knitting news. Three more knitting things were learned today - a crochet cast on, the flat knit stitch and the purl stitch. You know as in, "knit one, purl two". I feel so crafty. Project number seven is underway, another hat - but this one is for me with yarn that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
daecabhir got me for our anniversary.
I've not been knitting for very long and I am just now learning more stitches ... so imagine my complete and utter surprise when not one but two folks asked if I am taking orders for hats! Wowzers. I sure hope I can create something to their liking.
The fencing contractors showed up bright and early this morning. The emphasis is on early since they showed up an hour earlier than we had been told to expect them! Joe, the owner, took time to explain things like section spanning and why we need a thicker post for the dip in the woods, etc. The three-man crew managed to get all the posts set, the top rail installed and the bottom coil wire affixed. They'll be back tomorrow morning to string the fencing, hang the gates and tighten everything up.
I was already feeling pretty good about our choice of fencing contractor when, in the course of our conversation, Joe mentioned that he had a kiln that he was willing to give me. For free. If they can fit it on the truck tomorrow with the wire, they just might deliver it to. It's been sitting in his garage for several years; given to him by a customer who had only used it a few times. He has the manual for it and everything.

Once the morning's fog burned off and the sun came out, it turned out to be a very pretty fall day. I took advantage of that and sat out in the woods for an hour or so. Apparently even the deer get confused by daylight saving time because they failed to show up.
