Fall is here & The 3 needle bind off.

Fall ~ it's coming to soon!
 

Barn Raising ~ Mennonite Style. Our new Mennonite Thrift Store is coming to completion by mid October. It will house the main MCC head quarters for all of Ontario as well as other businesses. This barn at the back of the new building will house winter equipment etc. It rained all day....;-(


 
Sadly, fire took down the Farmer's Market just outside of St Jacob's in Waterloo! A month doesn't pass by when we don't head out there and just wander around. My favorite little store called "Nights in White Flannel" is gone. So many vendors lost their businesses and fingers crossed that rebuilding will happen soon. The day after the fire, they were already planning ahead....I love that! They are determined to get everyone back into business....so many families depend upon it!
 
 
   A new to me stitch! Knitting along, following a top pattern for the 18" doll that I'm making clothes for...and....'do a 3 needle bind off' hits me!!! What??? Google Google - lots of YouTube help and it's done! ( just not shown) In all my years of knitting from patterns, I have never heard of the 3 needle bind off. It's the bee's knees!!! I need to get out more!!! :-)




And the garden ~ what the heck. I'm going to clobber the person who put all the wrong name tags into the veggie plants I bought. Is this a butternut squash??? I have no idea what it is...yes, a squash - but not anything I've seen before. And I just love those beef steak tomatoes. ARGH !!! There is also a lovely orange pumpkin growing which should be WHITE. I bought the WHITE pumpkin seedlings! The green beans were both green and yellow ~ so not a big complaint there. But, good grief Charlie Brown.
