Way back Wednesday and some Knitting...

The knitting Report:

I'm working on the fronts of the pink Stardust, slowly because it's been a very busy two weeks I didn't get a lot done, but enough.

If I make this again, and I hope to, I'll make it "in the round.  it would be so much easier than trying to keep track of the pattern on two fronts and a back.  There are dozens of renditions of this pretty sweater at Ravelry.  Just search for "Stardust sweater", and you can see them all.  Sorry, you have to sign up with the site but if you are a knitter, it's a good thing to do. 

Way back Wednesday picture:

I will be doing this until I run out of pictures I guess.  lol.  It seemed like an interesting thing to do.

The second picture is of our  Rock-hound club in the Sixties.....  It was taken near a place called 11 mile road across from what was once called Goldrock Ranch.   It may still be there and called that but we haven't been back in a couple decades.

This old, old photo was up at the Rock Hounds shop, as were all the others that I'll show you over time.
That is why it looks like it was spattered with oil, because it was.   Some of the machines cut cabs using oil as a lubricant.

 All those people are looking for surface agates or Dumorteirite.  Beautiful stuff!  I found a fragment of an iron pot out there, and keep it with my rust collection. 

The Jam Report:  The jam didn't jell.  That's the first time that's ever happened to me, but I thought we could make some sorbet out of it, or, as one friend suggested, Smoothies.  I like that last.  It would be very good in a smoothie with cherries, banana and soy silk vanilla.  Yum!

Today, I'm going to see my sister for a good chin wag and maybe tea and cookies.  I'm taking my knitting but we usually talk too much for me to be able to knit a pattern so maybe I'll take the sweater that's done but not sewn together.  That Noro one.

Enjoy your day.  I hope it unfurls something charming and heartwarming for you.
