Adventures of the Traveling Lemon

My Spoonflower fabric arrived!  Little Sir now has the most fabulous of duvet covers for his new room.

Arduino + camera shield + solar panel is a success!

Fibre to make stars for the little wizard's Christmas stocking. I think I'm going to go with navy Briggs & Little for the stocking, then duplicate stitch his name and the decoration in this stuff. It's a merino/rayon/selling blend, very pretty and well-prepared, but feels meh in the hand when spinning.

Nerd Girl Yarns polwarth and silk, 3-ply fractal spin, sock weight.  Colourway "Flashy Lighty Things and a Cloud Belt".  I have a LOT of this, and it's been kicking around on the bobbin forever.  Possibly a future shawl.

Here's hoping that 我们的小男巫 takes the hint.

First produce from my garden: beet thinnings!  Dinner tonight included steamed beetlets and beet greens sauteed in butter.

Handspun has been transformed into a basic newborn hat!  I'm pleased with the even stripes.  Hoping to use the leftovers to make a Nordic striped ball for 男巫's first Christmas.

Actually kind of amused by this.

Golden booties for 男巫.

The <b>Grass mud horse</b> — <ruby>草泥馬<rp>(</rp><rt>Cǎo Ní Mǎ</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby> - is … characterised as “lively, intelligent and tenacious”. However, their existence is said to be threatened by the “river crabs” — <ruby class="styled">河蟹<rp>(</rp><rt>héxiè</rt><rp>) </rp></ruby> — which are invading their habitat.

Mods: Used a different (and slightly wider) lace pattern around the edges, knitted a cover for the colourwork, 男巫's initials knit into the cover in Harry Potter font.

Putting up the crib!  男巫's sleeping arrangements still need a bit of work, though.  Trying to decide what I should use to fill in that gap.

Progress on 男巫's baby blanket.
