Taking a break from a busy day to quickly join the Yarn Along.  I have a penchant for permaculture books, and something about reading up on landscape design and permaculture theory just pairs well with knitting.  This morning I finished The Resilient Farm and Homestead while casting on a pair of socks.
The book is well-written and not-t00-technical. Â It is geared toward those folks with property, and/or those new to the ideas of resilience and permaculture homesteading. Â Â While I may not have enough land for sheep and goats and a duck pond, the book still had a lot to offer, and it was nice to day dream while reading through it.
Here is the cuff of what will be stripey socks in beige, plum and dove grey, cast-on with 5s for a quick knit. Â I snagged a bag of Lamb’s Pride worsted at a garage sale last weekend. Â I couldn’t resist when it was such a good deal, and folks like me (with chilly feet!) can never have enough pairs of thick wool socks in the winter.
I’ve been cooking up lots of good things in the kitchen, and will be back tomorrow with one of my favorite summer recipes.
As always, looking forward to reading up on the other knitters in the Yarn Along later tonight while kiddos are in bed (and I crank out a few more inches on these socks.)
thanks for sharing that book!
